Amos Lee - Johnson Blvd Lyrics
Up on Main St, they built a highway
Changed its name to Johnson Boulevard
Up on Thursday down on Friday
People ask me why are things so hard
Times been hard though
And its a long way back home
Theres an old train in a stock yard
Its like a graveyard of things come and gone
And the wind moves on a gravestone
Where the leaves gone
And everybody knows
Times been hard though
From Laredo to San Jacinto
And its a long way back home
Sometimes youre standing still
And the wind just beats you down
Oh and sometimes its just so hard
to keep your two feet right there on the ground
Mothers faithful
She goes to church still
She prays on Sunday
And Mondays too
Fathers somewhere
On the back field
Thinking out loud
That this ain't nothing new
Times been hard though
From Laredo to San Jacinto
So why dont we just go back home
Why dont we just go back home

Been following Amos since 2001. So awesome!
Takes you places!!😍😍
Could. Listen to this Artist all day , very relaxing, fantastic tone to his voice
Never disappoints. A very controlled and calculated singer/songwriter.
I'm in awe with this man, love the tone in his voice, so clear.... nails the upper range, also, has the grit,& growl with perfect dynamics. His breath control is unbelievable!!! Epitomizes singer/ songwriter, with a charming sense of humor to complete the package...not to mention his good looks. HOT!! WOW!! I'M ADDICTED TO HIS MUSIC LISTEN DAILY, USUALLY MORE THAN ONCE!! VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING LYRICS, OK!! I'M JUST PLAIN GEEKING OUT,& HOOKED!! HOW CAN I MEET THIS MUSICAL MAGICIAN?? PATTY
SO SO AGREE!!!
Just Beautiful !
pure talent!!
Love this guy.. so much I'm afraid to listen to much more.. he can hurt my feelings.. the real deal for sure.
Was this sound done by Capitol Records? If so, theres a magic in this match. Capitol get a clue... get Amos and pimp the hell out of this voice!!!
So touching,this can relate, to so many people, from all cultures, and raisings!!
1 mic 1 take is where it's at!!! can you 1 mic 1 take - arms of a woman! thanks!
so glad i found your music!!!
Oh my.....
I marry you Amos! ♥
7 people got their ears eaten by demons
Beautifull song but way to much reverb on his mic...too bad the sound guy is an idiot.
I'm a singer/songwriter/producer and I have to agree.
Amos I just want you to know That you inspire me to the fullest as a musician and songwriter. Always looking forward to new music from you brotha. Thanks a million fold
Look up The Gorge its right next to the Columbia river
always wondered what jack johnson and amos together would sound like together . Just found out the are playing together @ The Gorge in Washington State ....10 miles from where i grew up . Here i come my home town to Amos and Jack . My calling theres got to be reason and Im going to find out why . I love Cali . but my roots in Washington .
Freaking wonderful.
One of the greatest artists of our generation
how anyone could give this song a thumbs down. how you could give anything amos lee a thumbs down has a real bad outlook on life imo.
Gotta say.love your stuff...more so love all the heart you put into your passion
When you hear the word artist, this is what it means.
Agree 100%
@John Conway ditto

I can listen to Amos all day. 1st heard him on Artists Den, now I have all but one of his CD's.
:-) How is it that I love YOU and haven't even met you?
My favorite song from the new album, hearing it now like this, only Amos with the guitar just made me enjoy it even more. Thank you Amos!
When I heard him I thought he was black. Is that prejudice in a good way.
I love this dude.
Amazing performance of an awesome song!
