Johnny's Got A Shotgun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All is quiet on the southside
Like the calm before the rain
In a world full of rage now
Too many hearts full of pain
He's been talkin' to the devil now
Say a prayer for his soul
He'll put an end to this rumor
Before it ever gets told
She sits by the window
Starin' out at the road
For the headlights comin' down the street
But there's nowhere to go
Johnny's got a shotgun
It's a dangerous one
His finger sweats on the trigger now
It ain't no barrel of fun
I don't want to do it now
But you push me too far
There's no time to think it over
There'll be no change of heart
They got my name and my number
And a price on my head
They'll be listening for the thunder
And lookin' for a sea of red
Johnny's got a shotgun
Got the law in his hands
It's sawed off twelve gauge
He's a dangerous man
There's always two sides to the story
But I'm the one they'll blame
When mama reads the paper now
I hope they misspell my name, oh yeah
Johnny's got a shotgun
It's a dangerous one
His finger sweats on the trigger now
It ain't no barrel of fun
Johnny's got a shotgun
Got the law in his hands
It's sawed off twelve gauge
He's a dangerous man
Johnny's got a shotgun
