Johnny law |
Well I was driving down the road just a minding my own |
When Johnny Law pulled up from behind |
He walked up to my window and said, roll it down |
And let me see what I can find |
I said, no way, what’s mine is mine |
And I’d appreciate it if you’d leave me be |
He said, I’ll leave you be alright, in a cell all night |
I’ll lock you up and throw away the key |
He slapped them cuffs on my wrist |
And my hands clenched into fists |
And I wished I could have punched him in the jaw |
And knock out old Johnny Law |
Old Johnny Law |
Johnny Law |
He’s the littlest man I ever saw |
With his badge and his gun |
He’ll just hassle everyone |
He’ll get you on the run |
Johnny Law |
He took me down to the state house |
And he hurled that book at me |
And being in a cell is like being in hell |
For a man who longs to be free |
I sat there and I wondered |
Just what gave this man the right |
To leave me to rot |
Here on this rickety cot |
Just a staring at the celling all night |
And I couldn’t help but think |
Of the words of my dear departed pa |
He said, do the best you can |
Be a good man |
But don’t you never trust Johnny Law |
Old Johnny Law |
Johnny Law |
He’s the littlest man I ever saw |
With his badge and his gun |
He’ll just hassle everyone |
He’ll get you on the run |
Johnny Law |
Without any proof they couldn’t keep me there |
So they let me out in the morning |
And that cop said, son, I don’t know what you done |
But just consider this a little warning |
I said, it must take a lot of nerve to protect and to serve |
But I wonder what it would be like |
If you didn’t have that badge or that gun or that uniform |
To hide behind |
And although I feel |
That this whole deal, I got, was pretty damn wrong |
My conscience is clean |
Cause I’m a human being |
And you’re just Johnny Law |
Old Johnny Law |
Johnny Law |
Well, you’re the littlest man I ever saw |
With your badge and your gun |
You just hassle everyone |
You’ll get ya on the run Johnny Law |
With his badge and his gun |
He’ll just hassle everyone |
You’ll never get me on the run |
Johnny Law |
