Johnny Law
Well I was drivin' down the road just mindin' 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 let me be He said I'll leave you be all right In a cell all night I'll lock you up and throw away the key
He slapped them cuffs on my wrists And my hands clenched into fists And I wish I could have punched him in the jaw And knocked out old Johnny Law
Oh 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 bein in a cell is like bein 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 to rot Here on this rickety cot Just a-starin' at the ceilin' 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Oh 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 mornin' And that cop said Son I don't know what you done But just consider this a little warnin'
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 That I got was pretty damn raw My conscience is clean cuz I'm a human being And you're just Johnny Law
Oh Johnny Law Johnny Law Well you're the littlest man I ever saw With your badge and your gun You just hassle everyone He'll get you 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
