Johnny Was An Outlaw

JOHNNY WAS AN OUTLAW By Jim Gaudet

Johnny was an outlaw, I read it in the paper
they swore they would get him, sooner than later
We were like brothers, since we both were kids
I still can't believe all the things they say he did
And I don't need to be told what he did wasn't right
there's goodness in his soul
I don't know where he went wrong all I know is
Johnny's gone, Johnny's Gone, Johnny's gone

Lost his job and his family, so Johnny was a desperate man
he put on a black ski mask and took matters into his own hands
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time,
Adirondack Savings and Loan
I knew the man under the mask and Johnny knew that his cover was blown
and I don't need to be told what he did wasn't right,
there's goodness in his soul, I don't know where he went wrong all I know is,
Johnny's gone, Johnny's gone, Johnny's gone

They called from the precinct as a person of interest
they said they had some questions and a lie detector test
They think I was part of this caper
they want to know where he got his 44, and what about
his cell phone number and why wasn't I lying face down on that bank floor
Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone
Johnny was an outlaw, I readit in the paper
They swore that they would get him sooner than later,
He's gone
