|
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. |
