Johnny went off duty, caught a bullet from a gun
they sent a car back to his mama's place
to tell her 'bout her son
oh, now he's just a picture on the wall
gave his life, makes no sense at all

Watch out
(who knows where the wind will blow)
take hold
(who's next to go)
watch out
(could be you or me)
Watch out
(who knows where the wind will blow)

Johnny got his orders, when I was just a child
died in Hanoi waters, yeah it's been quite a while
oh, got his picture hangin' on the wall
gave his life, makes no sense at all

Watch out
(who knows where the wind will blow)
take hold
(who's next to go)
watch out
(could be you or me)
I got his picture hangin' on the wall
gave his life, makes no sense at all

(who knows where the wind will blow)
take hold
