Johnny Porter

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
