Johnny was a space cowboy, Jenny was a high life girl

Together they went travelling far out, on a crazy playground whirl

Johnny said he’d make it big, ‘cause he knew people in the right places

Jenny went along for the ride and showed her face with a winning smile

 

So they drove all day and they played all night                       

Jenny thought maybe they’d lost their way, Johnny said he’d make it right

Don’t stop now we’re on a roll, shift it into cruise control

So they drove all day and played all night

 

Johnny met his match one day, said too much and picked a fight

Jenny stood by her man, still too soon to see the light

Johnny moved from charm to crime, with no money in the making

Jenny said just one more time, but next day her smile was fading

 

So they drove all day and they played all night                       

Jenny thought maybe they’d lost their way, Johnny said he’d make it right

Don’t stop now we’re on a roll, shift it into cruise control

So they drove all day and played all night

 

Johnny was a space cowboy, Jenny was a high life girl

Together they went travelling far, on a crazy playground whirl

 

So they drove all day and they played all night                       

Jenny thought maybe they’d lost their way, Johnny said he’d make it right

Don’t stop now we’re on a roll, shift it into cruise control

So they drove all day and played all night

 

Johnny drank to ease the pain, trying to save his fading dream

Too fast, too soon, too late to mend, this is where their journey ends
