(Ron Miller/Terry Erlinger)
2
Johnny's been runnin' hard all his life
3
'Cause life never treated him right
4
Well he ain't running now
5
You see his eyes are closed
6
They can't hurt him tonight
7
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
8
Just let him be for a while
9
Don't wake him, don't take him
10
To where the people don't smile
11
Sleepin', my man is sleepin' nice now
12
Please let him stay here with me
13
I promise, I'll keep him
14
At home, where he's supposed to be
15
He's been out there
16
In the streets you know
17
And strugglin', scufflin'
18
Trying to survive
19
Out there in a richman's world
20
And now you say my Johnny is not alive
21
But you're wrong, can't you see
22
Sleepin', he's just sleepin' mister
23
He doesn't rest very much
24
He lives hard and he gives hard
25
And I'll just die for his touch
26
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
27
Without a care to his name
28
He's peaceful
29
He's quiet
30
He's tired of runnin' his game
31
He's been out there
32
In the streets you know
33
With all the pain and all the suffering
34
Out there
35
Where you fight like hell
36
He never learned a fix don't fix a thing
37
Don't touch him
38
Johnny put too much in his vanes
39
And now you're trying to tell me he's gone
40
I don't believe you
41
I'm just gonna sit here
42
And rock him in my arms
43
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
44
He doesn't rest very much
45
You see he lives hard and gives hard
