Johnny Lyrics

edit | print

Somewhere on the waterfront
Johnny's hiding with a gun
Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story
He's not sorry for what he's done

He broke into a drugstore
To cure his daily need
He didn't mean to shoot the guard
But he was blinded by the greed

Oh Johnny

You see that nun, she's his sister
She doesn't know that he's gone bad
When they told it to his father
It drove the old man mad

Just as his mother warned him
From her dying bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head

Oh Johnny

Now the cops have got him surrounded
And he doesn't stand a hope
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble
Over just a little dope

Five to one he gets away
That's the odds I'm going to give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one he's going to live

Oh Johnny

Back in the alley where he was slain
I thought I heard something move
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain
The picture had been removed

Just another juiced up junkie
Looking for a bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head

Oh Johnny

Somewhere on the waterfront  
Johnny's hiding with a gun  
Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story  
He's not sorry for what he's done  
  
He broke into a drugstore  
To cure his daily need  
He didn't mean to shoot the guard  
But he was blinded by the greed  
  
Oh Johnny  
  
You see that nun, she's his sister  
She doesn't know that he's gone bad  
When they told it to his father  
It drove the old man mad  
  
Just as his mother warned him  
From her dying bed  
It's alright to lose your heart  
But never lose your head  
  
Oh Johnny  
  
Now the cops have got him surrounded  
And he doesn't stand a hope  
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble  
Over just a little dope  
  
Five to one he gets away  
That's the odds I'm going to give  
Five to four they blast him away  
Three to one he's going to live  
  
Oh Johnny  
  
Back in the alley where he was slain  
I thought I heard something move  
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain  
The picture had been removed  
  
Just another juiced up junkie  
Looking for a bed  
It's alright to lose your heart  
But never lose your head  
  
Oh Johnny
