Long Arms - The Ballad Of Joni And James текст песни

Here's the story of Joni and James
Joni is the girl
Well, I'm the other name
Joni's up in Canada
She's freezing cold
Me? I'm in a rock and roll band
She's got a van its made in the 90s
Its a 350
He's also got a van
It also seats about 15
He's gonna take all the seats out the back
Cause he can live without them
But he can't live without his girl
He's gonna cruise on up to her and say:

We'll try to get by
We don't need no one else
We'll give it a shot
Give it all we got, yeah
We'll try to get by
We don't need no one else
We'll give it a shot
Cause it would be a shame
If no one heard the ballad of Joni and James

Here's the story of Joni and James
Some say they were star-crossed lovers
But they were stars the same
They stay up all night talking but they were miles away
They were dreaming with their eyes wide open
But they were dreams the same
She had a thing for drummers
But it was only a thing
He had many young lovers
But that went away the day Joni rang
She said, "You say that to all the girls..."
But he knew it wasn't like that
He's gonna give her the key to his heart
And they ain't never gonna be apart
He said:

We'll try to get by
We don't need no one else
We'll give it a shot
We'll give it all we got, yeah
We'll try to get by
We don't need no one else
We'll give it a shot
Cause it would be a shame
If no one heard the ballad of Joni and James

Here's the story of Joni and James
Two young lovers and the world thinks they're insane

We'll try to get by
We don't need no one else
We'll give it a shot
We'll give it all we got, yeah
We'll try to get by
Yeah, we're gonna get by
We'll give it a shot
We'll give it all we got
And that's the ballad of Joni and James
