Johnny Don’t Go the Distance

David Malin

Johnny, don't go the distance
Tonight you're out for the count
You ain't gonna last another round
Johnny, this is your last chance
To fight, the lions roar
The crowd calls out for more
But it's thumbs down, they were sayin'

Johnny, don't go the distance
You ain't gonna be saved by the bell
The minute that you lower your resistance
They're gonna come out and give you hell
They say: Johnny, don't go the distance
You don't have to be a hero to be proud
Johnny, you come out fighting
And they'll go down

Johnny, now you're the hero of the day
You always claimed one day
They'd hang your name on some forgotten hall of fame
Funny it turned out to be this way
It's okay, I understand
You never wanted anything
You couldn't get with your own two hands

Johnny, you've been down this road before
You can't make it on your own
Don't it sometimes seem the road goes on forever
When you're so far away from home?
Johnny, you're on your own

Johnny, don't go the distance
You ain't gonna be saved by the bell
The minute that you lower your resistance
They're gonna come out and give you hell
I say, Johnny, don't go the distance
You don't have to be a hero to be proud
Johnny, you ain't gonna last another round

Oh Johnny, you come out fighting
But you'll go down
Ooh, you're gonna go down

You don't have to be proud
You don't have to be proud
Push, push, push
Go ahead, fight, go ahead, oh

Shake it away, what's coming this way
Will soon be a dream to resign
Oh Johnny, go out and give 'em hell
They're spoiling for a fight
A quick blow to the left
Like a burning flash of light
Will bring 'em to the floor
Johnny, give that crowd
Their money's worth
We all know what they came here for

Johnny, don't go the distance
The seconds are tickin' away
He offers no resistance
He can't see by the light of day
And no one comes to your assistance
Oh Johnny, don't let the title slip away

And the lights are goin' down
What are you gonna do now?
You might turn and hide from the crowd
Oh, but Johnny, it's too late now
Johnny, it's too late now

Johnny, don't go the distance
You ain't gonna be saved by the bell
The minute that you lower your resistance
They're gonna come out and give you hell
I say, Johnny, don't go the distance
You don't have to be a hero to be proud

Johnny, you come out fighting
And they'll go down
