Johnny Lobo Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Once upon a dusty reservation 

Somewhere in the land of sitting bull 

Johnny lobo played with fire and dreamed of open spaces 

Locked inside a heaven gone to hell 

All the dreams were gone but not forgotten 

Murdered like the holy buffalo 

But johnny lobo knew the rules and grew into a warrior 

Fighting for his people and his soul 

Chorus: 

Oh...... johnny lobo 

Oh...... johnny lobo

Loaded down with lessons that he carried 

Home from viet nam to wounded knee 

Johnny lobo burned a flag he knew had been dishonored 

Paid the price for thinking he was free 

Someone set his house on fire, burned it to the ground 

With his wife and children locked inside 

Later when the bitter tears were falling to the ashes 

Something good in johnny lobo died 

Chorus: 

Oh...... johnny lobo 

Oh...... johnny lobo 

Photos 

In a darkened corner of a tavern 

Burning down old memories again 

Johnny lobo stares into the smoke and dream of clouds 

Running like wild horses with the wind 

Holy phoenix rising from the ashes 

Into the circle of the sun 

Johnny lobo's warrior heart was burnished in the embers 

And the battle's just begun 

Chorus: 

Oh...... johnny lobo 

Oh...... johnny lobo
