"Johnny Come Lately"

These first lines from Steve Earle’s “Johnny Come Lately,” off his amazing 1988 Copperhead Road album, could serve as an effective introduction for any American songwriter. However, after the first lines of the song, we realize this is not a biographical song about Steve Earle, but rather a story about an American soldier serving in London during World War II.
This song, our country…a story about family, war and the patriotism and passion that connects us all. So listen up close, I’ve got something to say. Boys, I’m buying this round.
