    Lyrics:
    Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
    Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
    Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
    Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
    He got the action, he got the motion
    Yeah, the boy can play
    Dedication devotion
    Turning all the night time into the day
    He do the song about the sweet lovin’ woman
    He do the song about the knife
    He do the walk, he do the walk of life
    Here comes Johnny and he’ll tell you the story
    Hand me down my walkin’ shoes
    Here come Johnny with the power and the glory
    Backbeat the talkin’ blues
    He got the action, he got the motion
    Yeah, the boy can play
    Dedication devotion
    Turning all the night time into the day
    He do the song about the sweet lovin’ woman
    He do the song about the knife
    He do the walk, he do the walk of life
    Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
    Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
    Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
    Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
    He got the action, he got the motion
    Yeah the boy can play
    Dedication devotion
    Turning all the night time into the day
    And after all the violence and double talk
    There’s just a song in all the trouble and the strife
    You do the walk, you do the walk of life

    Back in 1988 My daughter was burned in a house fire. She was flown to Shriners hospital in Boston for treatment. While driving to the Hospital, I played this song over and over again while fighting back tears. To this day I can't listen to this song without tearing up. My daughter now has a Doctorate in Physical therapy and just received her Masters in Hospital Management !

      I'm so sorry for your loss. My world fell apart when I lost my grandad. I held his hand 3 days and nights as he slipped away. We' kept him in the house he built when he immigrated to the US. I grew up there.
      I've never returned since the day he died. I don't know if I ever could just drive past it. That house is him. He poured so much off himself into it, it's not the same w/out him.

Ever since, this was one of my dads favorite songs that came from my music collection instead of the other way around. My dad passed in 2015, when I miss him this is a song I play and thank him for the times we shared. He was definitely the one person I am happy to say we shared the walk of life together ❤

    Everytime we went on vacation, my dad played played Dire Straits music in the car. I was quite young back then, but all these years later I still remember it when I hear it. And to be honest, I cried the first time I heard Brothers in arms again after all those years…
