《Johnny 99(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Johnny 99 (Live) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

[00:00:33] Well they closed down the auto plant in mahwah late that month

[00:00:39] Ralph went out lookin for a job but he couldn't find none

[00:00:46] He came home too drunk from mixing tanqueray and wine

[00:00:52] He got a gun shot a night clerk now they callm johnny 99

[00:00:59] Down in the part of town where

[00:01:01] When you hit a red light you don't stop

[00:01:05] Johnnys waving his gun around and threatenin to blow his top

[00:01:12] When an off duty cop snuck up on him from behind

[00:01:18] Out in front of the club tip top they slapped the cuffs on johnny 99

[00:01:25] Well the city supplied a public defender but the judge was mean john brown

[00:01:32] He came into the courtroom and stared young johnny down

[00:01:40] Well the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence son fit the crime

[00:01:46] Prison for 98 and a year and well call it even johnny 99

[00:02:20] A fist fight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag johnnys girl away

[00:02:27] His mama stood up and shouted judge don't take my boy this way

[00:02:35] Well son you got a statement you'd like to make

[00:02:42] Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away

[00:02:49] Now judge I had debts no honest man could pay

[00:02:54] The bank was holding my mortgage and they were gonna take my house away

[00:03:01] Now I ain't sayin that makes me an innocent man

[00:03:08] But it was more 'n all this that put that gun in my hand

[00:03:14] Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead

[00:03:21] So if you can take a mans life for the thoughts that's in his head

[00:03:28] Then sit back in that chair and think it over judge one more time
