Johnny's War Lyrics - Singles - Dynamite Boy

With a will of iron and a heart of gold and a life he did not choose 

He'd hold his head up high and proud beaten black and blue 

A shot of whiskey down his gullet and a bottle in his hand 

Thrust into a world that would never understand 

Oh Johnny look at, look at what you've done 

Chose life with the bottle and threw away your love 

Hey Johnny did you, did you lose your way 

Never knew the price you'd pay 

Look away, look away, look away your irish flag 

There's a war, there's a war, there's a war inside yourself 

Look away, look away, look away while you still can 

At war with a world that would never understand 

Johnny had himself a love that he planned to make his wife 

Who through it all whether right or wrong was always by his side 

Then in a fit of rage, he raised his hand up to her face 

She dried off her tears then she turned and walked away
