Lyrics

Oh, I travelled wide you know, I’ve been to each and every bar
I looked around enough, to know you were by far
So close to what I wanted, ever since I opened my eyes
The one and only, but then you started telling lies
I walked so many roads, I never knew which one to choose
I lost so many things, I didn’t want to lose.
So close, I came so close to you, but you never let me in
I would have stuck with you, but now I\'m gone, ain’t that a sin.
(So I) picked up my cane, put on my travelling shoes,
I hit the road again, Johnny Brown Eyes got the Blues
My friends they tried to warn me, about your crooked past
But I wouldn’t listen, I thought that it would last
At least I gave it a shot, but the shot it went astray
It all exploded in my face, nothing left to say
(So I) picked up my cane, put on my travelling shoes,
I hit the road again, Johnny Brown Eyes got the Blues
Now I’m wandering, ain’t got no home
Long winding roads ahead, so many streets to roam
Back to where I had begun, right back from the start
It’s good to be alone again, we’re better off apart.
So I found out you were a cheat, that you wanted to be free
Now, that ain’t no way to treat, a decent man like me
Sad it had to come to this, I really couldn’t stay
Picked up my things and left, got up, got on my way.
Picked up my cane, put on my travelling shoes, I hit the road again
Johnny Brown Eyes got the
Johnny Brown Eyes got the Blues
