[Verse 1]
Someone wants to blow up the planet
Johnny wants to find out why
Johnny did a show in st. Louis
Love came through the sky

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, they were camped out
Waiting for the sun to rise
Oh yeah, johnny sang out
Love into the sky

[Verse 2]
Johnny found a place out in texas
Waiting for him to come
Made himself a reservation
And hope came, in the gun

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, he was flying
Waiting for the sun to rise
Oh yeah, color by numbers
Waiting for the sun to rise

[Verse 3]
Johnny did some time in the army
Johnny did a stint in vietnam
Now he can't forget it
His mind is confused
Slipping from his twisted hand

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, he's still back there
With one hand on the gun
Oh yeah, he's still back there
Waiting for the rising sun

[Verse 4]
Now johnny
Likes to go down the highway
The wind singing in his ears
Right up as
Most things go whirring by
By day everything looks clear

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, johnny ride on
Gonna find a special home
Oh yeah, down the highway
Looking for the rising sun
