Johnny Red

Headed out in the moonlight
 You'll find him there
 A different man walks these streets
 When there's a bottle in his hand
 He's out talking with his demons
 They're swimming round up in his head
 He hears laughter from the corner
 Smoke and fire, hot burning lead
 Here he comes seeing red
 He'll wind up black and blue again
 Harmless words from a strangers mouth
 Put the fire in his head
 You better watch out
 The word in town
 He's the man that shot Johnny down
 Run your mouth
 Wind up dead
 He's the man who shot Johnny Red
 On the streets he walks alone
 A man with no name
 They never saw his face
 Hollow eyes filled with pain
 He's worn out like a tin roof
 Seen too much rain
 He sits down in the bar room
 And drives himself insane
 Here he comes seeing red
 He'll wind up black and blue again
 Harmless words from a strangers mouth
 Put the fire in his head
 You better watch out
 The word in town
 He's the man that shot Johnny down
 Run your mouth
 Wind up dead
 He's the man who shot Johnny Red
 They say he was on a whiskey binge
 The law could find no proof
 Who killed that man lying in the street
 But 80 devils sing the truth
 Here he comes seeing red
 He'll wind up black and blue again
 Harmless words from a strangers mouth
 Put the fire in his head
 You better watch out
 The word in town
 He's the man that shot Johnny down
 Run your mouth
 Wind up dead
 He's the man who shot Johnny Red
