(The Legend Of) Johnny Cool

I had one cup of coffee and a cigarette
 Then I rolled out of bed with my shirt soaking wet
 If I was gonna get movin', now was the time
 So I packed up my bags and my Gretsch '59
 It's a tough life, love
 But when push comes to shove
 It's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
 Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
 Don't let the big boys grind you down
 Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He was a rebel that broke all the rules
 Everyone can't stop talkin' about
 The legend of Johnny Kool
 It was darker than black, not a star in the sky
 So I revved on the engine and let that Mercury fly
 With the wind blowin' by at a 105
 It gave me a thrill just bein' alive
 It's a tough life, love
 But when push comes to shove
 It's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
 Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
 Don't let the big boys grind you down
 Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He was a rebel that broke all the rules
 Everyone can't stop talkin' about
 The legend of Johnny Kool
 Rumor had it now this cat had it all
 He was loud, he was wild, and he sure rocked the hall
 Some guy grabbed my arm and I jumped on the stage
 And I was rockin' with a guy who was twice my age
 It's a tough life, love
 But when push comes to shove
 It's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
 Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
 Don't let the big boys grind you down
 Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He was a rebel that broke all the rules
 Everyone can't stop talkin' about
 The legend of Johnny Kool
