Color By Numbers
Performer(s): Neil Young



Someone wants to blow up the planet
Johnny wants to find out why
Johnny did a show in St. Louis
Love came through the sky

Oh yeah, they were camped out
Waiting for the sun to rise
Oh yeah, Johnny sang out
Love into the sky

Johnny found a place out in Texas
Waiting for him to come
Made himself a reservation
And hope came, in the gun

Oh yeah, he was flying
Waiting for the sun to rise
Oh yeah, color by numbers
Waiting for the sun to rise

Johnny did some time in the army
Johnny did a stint in Vietnam
Now he can't forget it
His mind is confused
slipping from his twisted hand

Oh yeah, he's still back there
With one hand on the gun
Oh yeah, he's still back there
Waiting for the rising sun

Now Johnny
likes to go down the highway
The wind singing in his ears
Right up as
most things go whirring by
By day everything looks clear

Oh yeah, Johnny ride on
Gonna find a special home
Oh yeah, down the highway
Looking for the rising sun
