Johnny Raven Lyrics

Free and untamed is how you′ve grown
Settling down ain't your nature
Roots you′ll never own
You're hungry for new thrills
Strength's your will
You′ve got you a neat one, girl
Never can fill

Oh, Johnny Raven, by and by
You′re gonna leave my nest
Another nest to try
Johnny Raven, I believe you love me
But you're gonna leave me
When your restless heart says "fly"

Look at me, I′m a girl
I feel love so deep
Ain't it a shame
I want the one man
I can′t hope to keep
I need you, oh
But I ain't such a child
To think I can cage a bird
Born to be wild

Oh, Johnny Raven, by and by
You′re gonna leave my nest
Oh, another nest to try
Johnny Raven, I believe you love me
(I believe you love me)
But you're gonna leave me
When your restless heart says "fly"
(Fly, fly, fly)

I believe someday
Johnny Raven, by and by

You're gonna leave my nest, little boy
And I′m gonna die
Johnny Raven, by and by, yeah
You′re gonna leave my nest

Oh, yeah, and I'm gonna die
Johnny Raven, by and by
You′re gonna leave my nest, little boy
Oh, and I'm gonna die
Johnny Raven
