LYRICS:
Johnny was a young boy he liked playing at the park
And Johnny said oh oh Dad can you take me now
Johnny was young never hurt no-one too early for that
He was at the park he met a boy named Jimmy
He’s a cutie and he chose him oh
Take my heart, take my soul, share my crayons share my goals
His daddy walked by with a sigh, said Johnny sit by my side
I’m gonna give you the best advice you’ve ever heard in your life
See that boy named Jimmy yeah, he’s a cutie
But no no Johnny no no no ah ah oh
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover yeah
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
Johnny started high school at the front of the bus
Some boys yelled oh oh man come sit with us
Johnny found a seat with a boy named Pete and felt it again
As he was trying to play pretend the feelings came rushing in
And he thought
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover yeah
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
And I don’t want to talk about the trap I’ve dreamed big
Real big since I’ve been on daddy’s lap
Got my dreams by my side
Keep them in my pocket so that when I get the chance, I can rip it out and rock it
It’s like my golden ticket, it’s the reason that I’m here
Everybody has a dream, they’re frozen by fear
We won’t dance in the rain, we go and run for cover
All there is to blame is getting picked on by another
So we go and find someone that will love and support us
Says they adore us, maybe fought for us then
We forget about ambitions and decisions were changed
I think that I was only seven when ohhhhhhh
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover yeah
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
You get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
Getting picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
Na no na no
Johnny run away run away now Johnny now
Getting picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
Na no na no

I love how she says "he's a cutie". It says a lot about her, her empathy and her heart. Also, "Johnny was young, never hurt no one, too early for that". Amazing words. Very sad that it sounds like the Jimmy that Johnny is running away from here is the same Jimmy from her Jimmy song.

Opossum King he is not. His dad tried to help Johnny. It wasnt his dad that Said run away. It was johnnys mind.
I found this song and I love the way you sound, the lyrics and the message. As a Dad of a young boy Johnny's advice and fear would have been my life from my generation. This will never happen for my lad and will have love and support for any life he leads.

Seeing the lyrics now gives me a whole new appreciation for the song. And the song Jimmy gives it a world of its own.
I played this in my car and instantly busted out in tears. Its just so readable and ive never had a song hit those heart strings before. Thank you ❤️
I see a lot of people talking about Johnny being bullied for being gay by everyone, including his father. I personally do not interpret it that way. To me Johnny is gay. And his dad sees that, and accepts it. However, he fears johnny will be bullied so he tells him to hide it from the masses. I think this is a song about the cruel world of un-acceptance, and shame of the masses. However, i do not see johnny's father as un-accepting. i feel His father is simply scared for his son because all he knows is the masses, and the masses are cruel. Johnny's father feels like he is protecting him. in reality, though,he is hurting is stability and confidence for moving into adulthood. P.S. Everyone interprets music differently. Id love to hear more thoughts! Also AMAZING SONG

I remember playing with one of my friends, which was only around 7, and she started to play this song, and she said "Yay! Johnny Run Away!". And I remember getting so emotional at the meaning, and the fact that the kid thought it was such an innocent song. This is the type of music we need.

@@jolenezhang4064 Yes, I understand. We must respect. But there are also many people with homosexual feelings who make an effort not to practice homosexuality. Such people see that practicing homosexuality is a sin, as are sexual immoralities among heterosexuals. That is, in the view of such people, it does not matter what we feel in our hearts: not all our feelings can be right. What if these people (who say that not all our feelings are correct and sensible) are right? I can't say they're wrong and that's it. Not everything we decide to think is right will actually be, but what God decides. This is the belief and vision of many people around the world. Such people are considered alienated and prejudiced, but what if they are right?

The thing u love bout her songs are that she puts like meaning like songs for her bestie or friends family ect
Wow no WAY!
I finally understand what this song is about
It does not really matter if Johnny is gay or not. The true meaning of this song is in these words: "Everybody has a dream, but they're frozen by fear. We won't dance in the rain, we go and run for cover. All that is to blame is getting picked on by another" And it does not matter how we came to this belief, but fearing that we will "get picked on by another" is very self-limiting and leads to sad life. And so many of us can relate to this.... But there is hope. Because all that we have to do is to say "nah no nah no" to running for cover. :)
