Me and Johnny, V 1.0

This is a new song I've been working on. Be gentle in your criticisms, but do please criticize. I call it "Me and Johnny". Here's what I have so far:


Me and Johnny Walker stayed up talking late last night,
And we talked about the future, how it looks so bright.
I said I've never been one to put up much of a fight..
He reassured me, told me everything was gonna be alright.
And it was a Johnny Walker morning when I woke up today.
I just laid around and hung out until the middle of the day.
He told me everyone may leave but he's always here to stay,
And it doesn't matter much, cuz I've got no one anyways.

Yeah, me and Johnny Walker are the best of friends.
I know he'll be there right up to the bitter end.

Me and Johnny Walker walk up and down the streets.
We just smile at all the happy people that we meet.
They don't understand that it's sadness that makes life so sweet,
And you can't learn to love freedom while you still got shoes on your feet.
And Johnny Walker's right there with me on a bleary, rainy day.
I stare out my motel window and look out across the bay.
If you've never known love, then how can you know my pain?
I wish I could leave so badly, but I know that I'll just remain.

Yeah Me and Johnny Walker are the best of friends.
He swears that he'll be with me until the bitter end.

It seems like I'm always trying hard to outrun the sun.
I know I will never be satisfied until the day is done.
Yeah, I live for the night, when it's time to run,
But I can't go very far while I'm trapped under your thumb.
So I force a hard earned smile and decide to begin anew,
And sparkling diamonds on the sea make me think of you.
And Johnny tells me to get in my truck and drive straight through,
And I listen, and I do it, and by tonight I'll be home with you.
