about

"A song about men who talk too little, drink too much and keep on moving on."

lyrics

Near a seaside town
When the fish came due
I had a friend I knew… Johnny C and me.

At the whiskey shore
for a night or two
We’d have all the crew.
Johnny C and Me.

We had Sam and Bud,
Jackie D made way,
We would waste the day
Johnny C and Me.

Wrangling out some tunes
That we couldn't play
And Words we couldn’t say
Johnny C and Me.

When the sun goes down and we're floating
out to sea.
I could throw a line
Or you save me

But we won't speak
It's something we can't do
So we drown those words in another
Beer or two…

One more drink for the friends we got
Another one on me for the friends we got
one more round to go for friends we got… and there's always
one more round to go... until there's not.

Same time next year
We did it all again
And we brought new friends
Johnny C and me.

Strumming by the shore
With our Perrier
Me and Johnny played
Til the hour of three.

When the sun goes down and we're floating
out to sea.
I could throw a line
Or you save me

But we won’t speak
Speaking is such a chore
So drown those words in another
Beer or four.

One more drink for the friends we got
Another one on me for the friends we got
one more round to go for friends we got… and there's always
one more round to go... until there's not.

Then Johnny said
That he couldn’t stay.
He had to move away.
Needed to be free.

Yesterday
Turned to yesteryear
Now I save a tear.
For Johnny C and me.

Things we didn't do
And we didn’t say
I think I'll waste my day
Jackie D and….

One more drink for the friends we got
Another one on me for the friends we got
one more round to go for friends we got… and there's always
one more round to go... until there's not.

One more drink for the friends we got
Another one on me for the friends we got
one more round to go for friends we got
