JOHNNY LOBO
-----------
by KRIS KRISTOFFERSON

Once upon a dusty reservation
Somewhere in the land of Sitting Bull
Johnny Lobo played with fire and dreamed of open spaces
Locked inside a heaven gone to hell
All the dreams were gone but not forgotten
Murdered like the holy buffalo
But Johnny Lobo knew the rules and grew into a warrior
Fighting for his people and his soul

Oh...... Johnny Lobo
Oh...... Johnny Lobo

Loaded down with lessons that he carried
Home from Vietnam to Wounded Knee
Johnny Lobo burned a flag he knew had been dishonored
Paid the price for thinking he was free
Someone set his house on fire, burned it to the ground
With his wife and children locked inside
Later when the bitter tears were falling to the ashes
Something good in Johnny Lobo died

Oh...... Johnny Lobo
Oh...... Johnny Lobo

In a darkened corner of a tavern
Burning down old memories again
Johnny Lobo stares into the smoke and dream of clouds
Running like wild horses with the wind
Holy Phoenix rising from the ashes
Into the circle of the sun
Johnny Lobo's warrior heart was burnished in the embers
And the battle's just begun

Oh...... Johnny Lobo
Oh...... Johnny Lobo

:

Sorry folks, but for some irritating reason I never spot my own
mistakes before it's too late. In "Johnny Lobo" by Kris Kristofferson
the third line in the last verse of what I gave you says:

Johnny Lobo stairs into the smoke and dream of clouds
            ------

It makes no sense. Please correct it to:

Johnny Lobo stares into the smoke and dream of clouds
            ------

Thank you...!
