lyrics

Johnny wasn't born yesterday but still he plays the fool
Mary was a little lost they said but still she keeps her cool

He never told that girl what he meant
When he said, "to an extent"

Johnny watched all his days pass him by as he planned to make his move
Mary longed for the day that would come
When theres nothing left to prove

She never told that boy her intent
When she left, away she went
into the sunset she rides

Lost, he mourned
He looked back to that farmhouse and he followed her tracks
It was something left unsaid, left stewing in his head
He looked back to that farmhouse and away he rode
Into the sunset he rides

Johnny wasn't born yesterday but still he plays a fool
Mary was a little lost they said but still she keeps her cool

She never told that boy her intent
When she left, away she went
Into the sunset she rides
