John Evans - Hey Johnny

If you turn on the faucet and the water don't flow
Say hey-ho what do you know
If you step on the gas and your truck won't go
Say hey-ho what do you know

I went down to my doctor
He said son I have some news
He said I only see one option
I said what if I refuse
He said son sometimes it's hard to say
The things I have to say
I said let me make it easy, Doc
I got up
I walked away

I say hey Johnny
I'm cool as cool can be
Hey, hey, hey Johnny, hey
You don't mess around with me

I bumped into a banker
He said let me tell you straight
He said if you save your pennies, boy
It might not be too late
I said let me tell you, Mister
Now is not the time
They say you cannot take it with you
So I'm saving every dime

Hey Johnny
I'm cool as cool can be
Hey, hey, hey Johnny, hey
You don't mess around with me

I stood before a priest
He said, son, I see that you have sinned
He offered me confession
I just looked at him and grinned
I said that's real nice of you, Padre
Here's what I'm gonna do
I'll keep that stuff between God and me
If it's all the same to you

I said hey Johnny
I'm cool as cool can be
Hey, hey, hey Johnny, hey
You don't mess around with me

Now if I meet a woman
Who'll consent to be my wife
And teach me how to put down roots
And live a simple life
She will save me from my wicked ways
To prove that she's the one
Well if I ever fail for that
Stick a fork in me
I'm done

I said hey Johnny
I'm cool as cool can be
Hey, hey, hey Johnny, hey
You don't mess around with me

If you turn on the faucet and the water don't flow
Say hey-ho what do you know
If you step on the gas but your truck won't go
Say hey-ho what do you know
If you want to drive fast but the traffic is slow
Say hey-ho what do you know
If you go to meet your lover but your lover don't show
Say hey-ho what do you know
If you want to go sailing but the wind won't blow
Say hey-ho what do you know
If you plant all the seeds but the crops won't grow
Say hey-ho what do you know
If you know you know the truth but they say it ain't so
Say hey-ho what do you know
I say hey-ho what do you know
I say hey-ho what do you know
