Olympia Inn

Amy Ray

[Verse 1]
Yeah, well me and Johnny on the road seeing rainbows doubled
And looking for a pot o' gold
But for every farm in Technicolor green there's a bruising sky
Beneath we're just maggots on the asphalt road
Well, every place has got its history
And you'd erase it if it'd set you free
Yeah, but is it worth another landscaped wasted to just move on
Johnny, can't we make the best of it?

[Chorus]
Oh Johnny, I've sung with pleasure
It's a good life, there is no measure
Hey Johnny, in the morning
When you wake me, call me "darling"

[Verse 2]
Yeah, she's gonna call me when she's down just to knock me around
Long about Michigan
Yeah, we wander parallel lives and I don't know why
Sometimes it hurts just to know she breathes
Yeah, but Johnny she's got what I need
Yeah, but she's gonna let me bleed
And I'll just be misty-eyed again at the Olympia Inn
And adding to that pouring rain

[Bridge]
Forget it, Johnny
We were rockin'
Some kind of crazy scene
I set myself back
It's just a land grab
And I got more than I need
Yeah, and after all these miles
I'm just a homesick pup
But I crossed this ocean
To give it my best shot

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Hey Johnny, I've sung with pleasure
It's a good life, there is no measure
Hey Johnny, in the morning
When you wake me, call me "darling"
Hey Johnny, in the morning
When you wake me, call me "darling"

[Outro]
When you wake me, call me "darling"
