Johnny law - William Elliott Whitmore.mp3

[00:00.00] Well I was driving down the road just a minding my own.
[00:12.51]When Johnny
[00:13.26]Law pulled up from behind.
[00:17.13]He walked up to my window and said, roll it down.
[00:21.45]And let me see what
[00:23.37]I can find.
[00:26.31]I said, no way, what's mine is mine.
[00:30.24]And I'd appreciate it if you'd leave me be.
[00:34.56]He said, I'll leave you be alright, in a cell all night.
[00:39.27]I'll lock you up and throw away the key.
[00:43.62]He slapped them cuffs on my wrist.
[00:48.18]And my hands clenched into fists.
[00:52.95]And I wished
[00:53.73]I could have punched him in the jaw.
[00:57.45]And knock out old
[00:58.98]Johnny Law.
[01:01.29]Old Johnny
[01:02.19]Law.Johnny
[01:04.35]Law.He's the littlest man
[01:08.19]I ever saw.
[01:10.26]With his badge and his gun.
[01:12.81]He'll just hassle everyone.
[01:15.24]He'll get you on the run.
[01:17.28]Johnny Law.
[01:28.53]He took me down to the state house.
[01:32.58]And he hurled that book at me.
[01:37.44]And being in a cell is like being in hell
[01:41.43]For a man who longs to be free.
[01:46.32]I sat there and
[01:48.48]I wondered,
[01:49.95]Just what gave this man the right.
[01:55.23]To leave me to rot.
[01:57.06]Here on this rickety cot.
[01:59.22]Just a staring at the celling all night.
[02:03.84]And I couldn't help but think
[02:08.43]Of the words of my dear departed pa.
[02:12.78]He said, do the best you can.
[02:15.60]Be a good man.
[02:17.07]But don't you never trust
[02:18.90]Johnny Law.
[02:21.42]Old Johnny
[02:22.23]Law.Johnny
[02:24.39]Law.He's the littlest man
[02:28.20]I ever saw.
[02:30.27]With his badge and his gun.
[02:32.91]He'll just hassle everyone.
[02:35.16]He'll get you on the run.
[02:37.35]Johnny Law.
[02:48.63]Without any proof they couldn't keep me there.
[02:52.50]So they let me out in the morning.
[02:57.42]And that cop said, son,
[02:59.34]I don't know what you done.
[03:01.50]But just consider this a little warning.
[03:05.76]I said, it must take a lot of nerve to protect and to serve.
[03:10.62]But I wonder what it would be like.
[03:14.79]If you didn't have that badge or that gun or that uniform.
[03:20.70]To hide behind.
[03:23.85]And although
[03:25.20]I feel,That this whole deal,
[03:28.53]I got, was pretty damn wrong.
[03:33.06]My conscience is clean.
[03:34.83]Cause I'm a human being.
[03:37.32]And you're just
[03:39.00]Johnny Law.
[03:41.31]Old Johnny
[03:42.27]Law.Johnny
[03:44.40]Law.Well, you're the littlest man
[03:48.24]I ever saw.
[03:50.31]With your badge and your gun.
[03:52.89]You just hassle everyone.
[03:55.29]You'll get ya on the run
[03:57.33]Johnny Law.
[03:59.16]With his badge and his gun.
[04:01.77]He'll just hassle everyone.
[04:03.72]You'll never get me on the run.
[04:06.21]Johnny Law.
