Johnny Was A Pyro

Johnny was a pyro and he acted like a baby
 Wanted all this attention I couldn't give
 Drink a bottle of hard stuff, say I love you now save me
 Just a big guy with a funny sense of sin
 And the neighbor down the block in his underwear and socks
 Keeping track of the losses and wins with his wife
 Hanging out the window wondering which way the wind blows
 As I fumble the key in the lock again, singing
 Oh me, what am I doing with this ring on my hand?
 Oh me, if this is the good life who's choosin' it?
 Oh me, mama's best woman and daddy's best man
 Oh me, I'm highly in danger of losin' it
 Johnny was a pyro and he acted like a baby
 Got a phone call from the wild almost every night
 Well, he loved me but he really loved looking past me to the ladies
 He was much too good looking for his height
 We were a couple of kids crawling out of the crib
 Talking about the positives and the negatives of wine
 Living our lives just like Hemingway did
 But he was lucky, he was a genius most the time
 Oh me, what am I doing with this ring on my hand?
 Oh me, if this is the good life who's choosin' it?
 Oh me, mama's best woman and daddy's best man
 Oh me, I'm highly in danger of losin' it
 He was sideswiped by the clue bus when it came to talking two of us
 And the whole thing ended ugly, I guess
 You can put your cards out on the table but if nobody wants to play
 Well, you haven't got a game, you got a mess
 And I was looking at the judge leaning on my lawyer like a crutch
 And the judge said what happened and why?
 I said, "Johnny was a pyro and he acted like a baby"
 Now there's nothing like the sound of good bye
 Oh me, what am I doing with this ring on my hand?
 Oh me, if this is the good life who's choosin' it?
 Oh me, mama's best woman and daddy's best man
 Oh me, I'm highly in danger of losin' it
 Johnny was a pyro and he acted like a baby
 Wanted all of this attention I couldn't give
