What a Way to Go (feat. David Brown)

Johnny is a quiet man, always drinks alone

Holes in his old waistcoat, holes in his heart now since Annie moved on

He spends his days at home alone, his kids are overseas

Daily crossword in his chair, and out to sweep the leaves.

He remembers it was better, so many memories.

He held her hand till her last breath, and now her face is all he sees.

It's Monday night and the band are flying

There's people laughing, people crying

Johnny shouts for the same old tune, fly me to the moon

The lads don't know it, so they give him Raglan Road

Monday night comes round again, Johnny's heading on down for the show

He's off to Kansas City, off to Pontchartrain, he's off to rainy Soho

Two years to the day now, it's her anniversary

Annie's spirit round him, his own little Peggy Lee.

He turns to the bassman, start me off slow.

The people look and listen, where's he gonna go?

He leans into the microphone, it's the only song he knows

It makes him think of Annie, many moons ago.

Johnny is a quiet man, but that night he stole the show.

He lays down for the last time, what a way to go, what a way to go.

Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars

Let me see what spring is like, up on Jupiter and Mars

Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars

Let me see what spring is like, up on Jupiter and Mars.

What a way to go, go

What a way to go, go

What a way to go, go

What a way to go, go

What a way to go, to go

What a way to go

What a way to go
