Mick Bolton - Rock And Roll Widow

http://www.mickbolton.com
Written in 1993. Recorded at the Glass Eye songwriters' weekend at Smugglers in Hastings, UK on May 16th 2008

Johnny B Goode said to Runaround Sue
Tell me pretty baby why can't you be true
I've been all around the world playing with my band
While you're back there doing one night stands
She said Johnny since you've been a star
I've been second fiddle to your guitar

So you can go, Johnny you can go
Go, and don't you come back no more
'cos I aint gonna be your rock and roll widow no more

She gets up early, takes the kids to school
He's taking breakfast by the hotel pool
She waits by the phone but it never rings
He's talking to a roadie 'bout his guitar strings
She falls asleep watching late night soap
While he's getting high on booze and dope

So you can go, Johnny you can go
Go, and don't you come back no more
Cos she ain't gonna be your rock and roll widow no more

Life on the road is an overload
Of sight and sound, faces, places
Airport, hotel, sound check, gig
Sometimes the whole think just gets too big

He runs on stage and the fans go wild
She's trying to comfort a lonely child
Daddy's in the spotlight strutting his stuff
While Momma decided she had enough
In a little black book there's a number and name
Runaround Sue found her latest flame
So you can go...
