Johnny Porter Lyrics


Well Johnny Porter was the oldest in his family
And I remember he was almost twenty one
You know I can't quite explain the situation
But he broke into his father's truck and stole a gunMother running down the highway screaming
Johnny it's too bad, no it's too, bad and it's too badWell 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 runWell 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
Mm, Johnny Porter, Johnny Porter, yeah, yeahWell it's a shame the way you make your mother worry
And it 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 dieWell I was standing in my front door early this morning
So sad when I heard my neighbor said
That Johnny Porter was a no good than anybody
But I hate to see him throw his life awayNow run Johnny run they're rolling right behind you
And run Johnny run you know they're gonna find you

You come out late at night 'cause you're running for your life
Oh well, Johnny Porter, Johnny PorterFound him holed up in some dark and dirty building
Had 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 gunAnd I was born to die by the gun
Said mama, I was born to die by the gun
I was born to die by the gunSaid run Johnny run they're rolling right behind you
And run Johnny run you know they're gonna find you
You come out late at night 'cause you're running for your life
Johnny Porter, yeah it was Johnny Porter
Yeah Johnny Porter, Johnny PorterPorter
Porter
Porter
