Johnny Was A Rebel |
Johnny came home in '67 to a little bit less than a heroe’s welcome |
Guns of war ringing in his head I wonder what he must have thought |
Johnny was a rebel alright it was in his blood like fire in his eyes |
About the things some people said |
Believin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive |
Johnny was a rebel alright he knew where to stand and where to fight |
Believin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive |
Johnny was a rebel alright |
He used to ride that Harley through the hollows and the hills |
Blow through town standing on one wheel |
Long hair flyin' like a sheet in the wind I knew he never would fit in |
In the old hometown again |
Yeah Johnny was a rebel alright… |
That night out on the courthouse yard behind the civil defense and the national |
guard |
I saw an angry mob get out of hand I saw Johnny take a bullet for another man |
It seems like a waste when I look back today but I guess it’s like he used to |
say |
Johnny died young like the good often do fightin' for right in the struggle of |
truth |
Our freedom’s only worth as much as we’re all willing to pay |
Johnny was a rebel alright Johnny was a rebel alright yes he was |
Johnny was a rebel alright yes he was Johnny was a rebel alright yes he was |
