Color By Numbers Lyrics - Neil Young

Someone wants to blow up the planet 

Johnny wants to find out why 

Johnny did a show in St. Louis 

Love came through the sky. 

Oh yeah, they were camped out, 

Waiting for the sun to rise 

Oh yeah, Johnny sang out 

Love into the sky. 

Johnny found a place out in Texas 

Waiting for him to come 

Made himself a reservation 

And hope came, in the gun. 

Oh yeah, he was flying, 

Waiting for the sun to rise 

Oh yeah, color by numbers 

Waiting for the sun to rise.

Johnny did some time in the army 

Johnny did a stint in Vietnam. 

Now he can't forget it, 

His mind is confused, 

slipping from his twisted hand. 

Oh yeah, he's still back there 

With one hand on the gun 

Oh yeah, he's still back there 

Waiting for the rising sun. 

Now Johnny 

likes to go down the highway 

The wind singing in his ears 

Right up as 

most things go whirring by 

By day everything looks clear.

Oh yeah, Johnny ride on 

Gonna find a special home 

Oh yeah, down the highway 

Looking for the rising sun.
