I had a dream I was down at Jojo's
Havin' a burger 'neath the setting sun
Johnny was sitting in the corner
Sippin' on a glass of Depaz Rhum
He was checking out all of the tombstones
'Cross the cemetery in Lorient
The stage was hung, the soundcheck done
He was ready for everyone
He strummed a guitar made of orchids
And the who's who all were there
Bill Haley, Carl Perkins, not to mention Buddy Holly
Plus, a couple of Jordanaires
Colonel Parker was lurking on a nearby beach
With a contract full of deceit
But Johnny took the stage
And tore up every page
And the crowd flew out of their seats
Johnny Hallyday
Leap, and the net will appear
There's no other way
You ever could have wound up here
All the blood and the sweat and the long shot bets
And the things that the people say
You were more than just the French Elvis
You was Johnny Hallyday
There was a sound come across the ocean
From Memphis to the heart of France
It made Johnny dream and made the young girls scream
And everybody sing and dance
And the sound spread through all nations
But the source only played in one
So Johnny made a plan, and he started a band
And then made himself a hell of a run
Johnny Hallyday
Leap, and the net will appear
There's no other way
You ever could have wound up here
All the blood and the sweat and the long shot bets
And the things that the people say
You were more than just the French Elvis
You was Johnny Hallyday
The Champs-Élysées was crowded
Almost a million strong
There to raise a glass and to watch him pass
Maybe hoping for just one more song
Johnny Hallyday
Leap, and the net will appear
There's no other way
We all could have wound up here
All the blood and the sweat and the long shot bets
And the things that the people say
You were more than just the French Elvis
You was Johnny, yeah, you was Johnny
Johnny Hallyday
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and author known for his "Parrothead" style of music, which blends elements of country, folk, rock, and calypso. Born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett spent his childhood in various locations across the United States before settling in Key West, Florida, where he began his musical career in the 1970s. His success is attributed to songs like "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", and "Cheeseburger in Paradise", which made Buffett a cultural icon associated with a relaxed and idyllic atmosphere. Besides music, Buffett wrote several novels and non-fiction books, including the bestseller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". His music and personality inspired a large fan base, the "Parrotheads", who celebrate simple living and a love for vacations. Buffett died in 2023 at the age of 76.
