Johnny's Got A Shotgun

(Jim Jamison/Hal McCormack)
Published by MOFO Music - BMI

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 a sawed off 12 guage, he's a dangerous man

There's always two sides to a story (there's two sides to a story)
I'm the one that they'll blame (I'm the one that they'll blame)
When mama reads the paper now (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
Oh, Johnny's got a shotgun, he's got the law in his hands
It's a sawed off 12-guage, he's a dangerous man
Johnny's got a shotgun, oh
Johnny's got a shotgun
