Jack Bruce - Johnny B '77 lyrics

He stands on the platform
Waiting to travel on he’s ten years old
He watches the trains until they’re gone

He’s got an idea
That’s gonna go round the world
He’s only ten but his mind flies like a bird
Waiting so long to travel on
Don’t let anything slow you down
You’ve got the time till
The leaves turn brown
Don’t let anything slow you down, down

They sit on the roadside
Waiting to hitch a ride twenty years old
They’re blown along in the summer slide

He’s got a feeling
He’s gonna leavе her behind
He’s nеarly grown, but
Loning’s gonna blow his mind waiting so long
To travel on

Don’t let anything slow you down
You’ve got the time till
The leaves turn brown
Don’t let anything slow you down, down

He wait's at the airport
Waiting to catch his flight thirty years old
He follows the planes into the night

He’s got a guitar
That pushes and pushes him where he goes
Into the futures
Where the people wait in rows
Waiting so long to travel on
Don’t let anything slow you down
You’ve got the time till
The leaves turn brown
Don’t let anything slow you down, down
