| June fell for Johnny on the Forth of July
As the fireworks popped in the summer sky.
With a spark in her eyeshe just there an' stared
As his face lit up to the rocket's red glare.
An' by Septembershe'd asked him for a weddiing band.
How could she know he was a ramblin' man.
He walked out the door in the dead of the night.
An' a sleepy voice whisperedas he turned out the light:
"Where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"Ohyou're never gonna find
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"If you get tired of runnin'
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
He called up to tell her he missed her a lot.
Texas Panhandle was as far as he got.
He'd run out moneyhe'd run of luck:
He'd run out of gas in his pick-up truck.
"Hitch a ridecatch a train or a Greyhound bus
"'Cause there's a baby on the way an' that makes three of us.
"An' I need you here beside meI can't go it alone
She told him one more time then she hung up the 'phone,
Sayin': Where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"You knowyou're never gonna find
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"When you get tired of runnin'
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
An' the years just seemed to roll on by them.
She missed him more an' more every day.
An' that boy grew up to look and act just like him
An' she knew some day soon he'd be old enough to fly away.
An' she'd say: "Babywhere you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"You knowyou're never gonna find
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"When you get tired of runnin'
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
"If you ever get tired of runnin'
"Turn around an' walk back to me."
