John Looked Down - Arlo Guthrie

CHORUS:

Lying on the side of the road

Feeling like he heard a sound

Shivered with the feelin' that he knowed

John looked down, John looked down

John looked down the long, long road

She gave John a present that was fine

So fine that he had to go Went to see what it was that he knowed

John looked down, John looked down

John looked down the long, long road

And I know it’s hard

But what did you expect of her?

John looked down

If you see the lady in your mind

Even in her nothingness

Standing through the darkest night

And the people want to fight

But first ask if it’s all right

John looked down, John looked down

John looked down the long, long road

CHORUS

And I know it’s hard

But what did you expect of her?

John looked down
