Eddie Navarro - Johnny Had a Big Balloon Lyrics

Johnny had a big balloon
He wanted to go to the moon tonight
Ain't it like the first time
When he thought everything was going to be alright
And he still wonders why
Why he stays up all night
Better times with better wine
He knows he's still got the right
'Cause Johnny's still trying to catch that first high

Mary is the new disease
She was selling sex above the knees every night
Ain't it like the first time
When she thought everything was gonna be alright
And she still wonders why
Why she still stays up and cries all night
Better times with better wine
She knows she's still got the right
'Cause Mary is the new disease

Annie kept rolling the dice
She was living in paradise every night
Ain't it like the first time
When she thought she didn't have to pay that first price
And she still wonders why
Why she stays up and gambles all night
Better times with better wine
She knows she's still got the right
'Cause Annie's still trying to catch that first dice

Well Andrew's dad would come drunk at night
He'd beat his kids and beat his wife every night
Ain't it like the first time
When he thought the bottle was closed and everything was alright
And he still wonders why
Momma is daddy going to get crazy tonight?
Well hush son don't be sad
Something you just can't understand
You know your Daddy he ain't feeling very well

Ramon would work day and night
He'd work the graveyard nine to five every night
Ain't it like the first time
When he left home to find a better life
And he still wonders why
If he'll have enough to support his son and his wife
The life that he never lived
Something he just wants to give to his son
When he's ready to start his own life

Well David was on his way to work
He forgot something and he made a U-Turn
Ain't it like the first time when you forget something
But you know something ain't right
And as he opens the front door
He hears sounds coming from his bedroom door
He goes in to take a peak
It's his wife doing the dirty deed
He thinks to himself, damn
She beat me to it

Ashley forgot to lock the door
She was caught in a moment
But unlike before she was caught in a scene
Ain't it like the first time
When he went down and proposed on his knees
And she still wonders why
Why she's still seeing this other guy
A marriage not worth fighting for
As clothes are being thrown and torn
She thinks to herself, damn
He probably beat me to it

Jaime fought for his country and his dad
He fought for everything he never had in his life
Ain't it like the first time
When he told his Dad he was in love with another man
And his dad still wonders why
Why his son can't seem to find himself a wife
But Jaime knows just who he is
He smiles at the clinching fists
He fought for your country and your kids
How could you put a price on love
Which you can't give?

Johnny had a big balloon
He wanted to go to the moon tonight
