Текст песни 1968

Johnny gave Joe his first cigarette And Joe lit the filter and then he smoked the whole pack And Joe bought all the gas in Johnny's old Ford He always said that's what friends were for.

And tonight in this barroom he's easin' his pain He's thinkin' of someone, but he won't say the name Folks say he's a hero, but he'll tell you he ain't He left a hero in the jungle back in 1968. Johnny went from job to job tryin' to make ends meet And Tina divorced him back in '83 Now thirty years come and thirty years go And Johnny's got a grandkid that he barely knows. And tonight in this barroom he's easin' his pain He's thinkin' of someone, but he won't say the name Folks say he's a hero, but he'll tell you he ain't He left a hero in the jungle back in 1968.
