Lyrics
Locked him up back in ’69 On clear Kentucky shine Then again in ’87, cornbread, smoke fed The Marion county line It is time, he did his time Thirteen of twenty served And that far outweighed his crime He came back a wiser man He came back to do what he’d do He’d do it every time It is time He did his time When they came bustin’ in last year Like a smoke ring he’s up and gone But he wouldn’t have to go too far When the folks ’round here They don’t trust no law, no way Hey run, Johnny, run Hey run, Johnny run Hey now run now, run, Johnny run A man’s words all he’s got A man’s law don’t mean a damn To the down-home southern folk That live by the law of the land, not Uncle Sam It’s their land It’s our land No one knows who you’re talkin’ ‘bout No one’s seen, they’ve all gone blind Knowin’ he’ll be back someday To do what he’d do, what he’d do He’d do it every time He did his time And no more time And they’re still chasin’ down old ghosts And they’re still askin’ on deaf ears But he wouldn’t have to go too far When the folks ’round here They don’t trust no law, no way Hey run, Johnny, run Hey run, Johnny run Hey now run now, run, Johnny run Never mind no song, keep your head down boy Run, Johnny run You can rest at my place when the day is done Hey now, run Johnny, run now run, Johnny run Hey now, run now, run Johnny run Never mind no song, keep your head down, boy And run, Johnny run He can rest at my place when the day is done
