Johnny Porter (LP版)

Johnny Porter (LP版) - Ry Cooder (雷·庫德)

Johnny Porter was the oldest in his family

And I remember he was almost twenty one

Y'know I can't quite explain the situation

But he broke into his father's truck and stole a gun

Mother running down the highway screaming

Johnny it's too bad oh it's too and it's bad

And it's too bad

Well his father wonders where he got the money

And he wonders if he got it right or wrong

Then Johnny killed a man in Pensacola Florida

And he caught a freight train

And and took off on the run

Well run Johnny run

They're rolling right behind you

Run Johnny run

You know they're gonna find you

You come out late at night

'Cause you're running for your life

Hum Johnny Porter

Johnny Porter

Yeah yeah yeah

Well it's a shame the way

You make your mother worry

And it's hurts inside to sit and watch her cry

And it will be a long time

Before she knows the answer

But it won't be long before she will see ya die

Well I was standing

In my front door early this morning

So sad when I heard my name was said

Johnny Porter was no good than anybody

But I hate to see him throw his life away

Now run Johnny run

They're rolling right behind you

Run Johnny run

You know they're gonna find you

You come out late at night

'Cause you're running for your life

Well Johnny Porter Johnny Porter

Found him holed up in some dark and dirty building

Heard his mother begging

"Please let Johnny go "

That's when John fired his pistol

As a warning and he said

"I was born to die by the gun"

"I was born to die by the gun"

"I was born to die by the gun"

"I was born to die by the gun"

Now run Johnny run

They're rolling right behind you

Run Johnny run

You know they're gonna find you

You come out late at night

'Cause you're running for your life

Well Johnny Porter

Johnny Porter

Johnny Porter

Johnny Porter
