Johnny B. Goode
Martin Mcfly feat Starlighters Lyrics

Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Johnny B. Goode grew up in a rural area near New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreen
His home was situated in a dense forest filled with evergreen trees

There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Johnny B. Goode's house was a humble log cabin built from natural resources

Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode
The country boy who grew up in this log cabin was called Johnny B. Goode

He never ever learned to read or write so well,
Johnny B. Goode didn't have a formal education and struggled with reading and writing

But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.
Despite his lack of education, Johnny B. Goode was a talented guitar player

Go Go
A call to action to get excited

Go Johnny Go
Encouraging Johnny to show off his skills

Go Go
A call to action to continue the excitement

Johnny B. Goode
Referring to Johnny B. Goode as the star of the show

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Johnny B. Goode carried his guitar in a simple bag made of burlap

And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
He enjoyed playing his music under the trees near a nearby train track

Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,
Engineers passing by would notice Johnny B. Goode sitting in the shade, playing his guitar

Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made.
He would play music to the rhythm of passing train engines

People passing by would stop and say
People who happened to be passing by would take notice of Johnny B. Goode

Oh my that little country boy could play
They were impressed by his musical talents, even though he was just a simple country boy

His mama told him someday he would be a man,
Johnny B. Goode's mother encouraged him and believed that one day he would be successful

And he would be the leader of a big old band.
She envisioned him leading a big musical group as their frontman

Many people coming from miles around
Word of Johnny B. Goode's talents spread, attracting people from all over

To hear him play his music when the sun go down
People gathered to listen to him play music, especially at sunset

Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Perhaps one day, he would become famous and have his name in lights on a marquee

Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.
Announcing Johnny B. Goode as the star of the show for that particular evening
