Well, when Johnny beat me down with a two by four
I learned to run
I heard Johnny's come back with a two by four
So I got a gun
Well, when hunters turn hunted
He better learn to run
Well, I'm an easy-going man so get off my back
The sun is going down, you better move fast
You better run, run, run, Johnny run
You better run, run, run, Johnny run
I was beaten down and walked out of a parking lot
Just for fun
They would laugh at the clothes I wore in front of everyone
Well you beat me down, you've had your fun
The hunters turn to hunted
I've got me a gun
You better run, run, run, Johnny run
The hunters turn hunted and your time's come
Run, run, run, Johnny run
Well run, run, run, Johnny run
The hunters turn to hunted and your time's come
Run, run, run, Johnny run
I hear Johnny's back in town, he wants to settle it all
I got a brand new baseball bat, wanna use his head for the ball
He better run, run, run, Johnny run
The hunters turn to hunted
Now your time's come
Run, run, run Johnny run
Ha!
