Lyrics
Johnny Doesn?t Live Here Anymore
Words and music by Robert Marsh

VERSE ONE:
Katie was his baby and Johnny was her man
But things were going crazy, they couldn?t understand
In many situations he wanted her to fight
Refusing any anger, he packed his bags that night
CHORUS:
She?s stuck inside this misery
She never felt like this before
No pictures for her memory
Now Johnny doesn?t live here anymore
VERSE TWO:
She had her independence though she hates to be alone
He thought that he could change her into something he could own
Nothing lasts forever, no longer by her side
Johnny didn?t need her, she knew that their love had died
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE THREE:
Now Katie?s found another love inside her life
And now they?re getting married, she?s gonna be his wife
She?s looking to the future, it?s better every day
Losing all the pictures, Johnny he was far away
REPEAT CHORUS
