Ode to Johanna

[Verse 1]

Ain't nobody answer when she callin' for me

Even though I heard her calling out from the Yee-Yee

Stretched out in my Hay straw

Drawin' me near

The buttermilk gal ain't catchin' cold

[Verse 2]

Brick-lined riverside

Driving like a wildebeest

Lights on my case

Saddle up on Lonely Street now

It all seems a blur

I'm sure it wasn't her

Didn't even break a sweat

Darling

She don't pose a threat

[Chorus]

Every night

The same refrain

Bloodstains sound out her name

Our own insane domain

Delusions take the reins

And between two chocolate eyes

All but dichotomize

The divine shall arise

To humanize

Johanna

[Bridge]

And it don't sound like anything

That I ever heard before

[Verse 3]

It kind of sounds like sufferin'

And I'm so scared to open the door

[Verse 4]

We've been debased

She cannot be replaced

She's way ahead of our time

If only in our minds
