Papa Johnny Road Lyrics - Widespread Panic

Down Poppie Johnny Road, nobody hears your name 

Life that I was lovin', like stealin' a ride on a train 

Wanna steal a ride on a train 

Crawlin' in the dirt all night 

I guess this is a place 

Newborns lashed to a dead oak tree 

Settle deeper in the rain 

Settle deeper in the rain 

Hold me tight, flying through the air 

Hold on strong, and we're almost there 

Laugh so hard, the devil gets scared 

I got a real good mind to beat your senseless 

Best to count your blessing child 

The sun's not too hot today 

Like to get to church before 

Oh, before this old jacket fades 

Take us right to the shade 

That's the end of Poppie Johnny Road 

Old blind that cures your misery 

Give her five dollars, boy 

Oh, and a reason to believe 

A reason to believe 

Hold me tight, flying through the air 

Coal yards calling, we're almost there 

Laugh so hard and the devil's all scared 

I got a real good mind to beat you senseless 

Down Poppie Johnny Road, nobody hears your name 

The life that I love, like stealin' a ride on a train 

Oh, steal a ride on a train 

At the end of Poppie Johnny Road 

Old Blind that cures your misery 

Just get five dollars there and a reason to believe 

A reason to believe 

Hold me tight, flying through the air 

Coal yards calling, we're almost there 

Laughed so hard and the devil gets scared 

I got a real good mind, to beat you senseless 

I got a real good mind 

Senseless 

I got a real good mind 

Senseless 

I got a real good mind 

Senseless 

I got a real good mind
