Johnny
Johnny was mean from the day that he was born
His daddy was rich, but he was never home
Spoiled and rotten to the core; had ev'ry thing 'n' wanted more
17 'n' in and out of jail
Now Johnny was a handsome lad
What he wanted he could have
break the law, any chance he had
one phone call; 'n' daddy would pay the bail
Mary Ann
Mary Ann had the kind of looks you'd die for
the kind o' looks you'd see on a movie screen
Turnin heads, know what I mean, beauty queen & just 14
Damned if she won't be a super star
But Johnny was determined to
Have his way with this one too
Mary Ann, "What do you have to lose?"
then she grew up in the back seat of his car
Darken' skies; Angels Cry
Another soul runs out of time
Mary Ann never planned to
They got married 'cause they had to
'n' th'Devil waits, just outside
for the day to come, the time is right
He'll take him home where he belongs
Th'Devil won't be denied
And he’ll say it's Jus- ti- fied
And he’ll say it's Jus- ti- fied
Judgement Day
Judgement Day came ten years down the road
Drunk as sin when Johnny came stumblin' home
Beat her again, that same ol' song; packed his bag and he was gone
it all adds up when all is said and done
Was a cold day so the story goes
In a cheap motel he was not alone
You could feel trouble deep down in your bones
Well, here comes trouble and trouble's got a gun
All those Tears of rage start to fa-a-a-ah-a-a-all
All those Years de-layed let them fa-a-a-ah-a-a-all
Watch them fa-a-a-ah-a-a-all
fa-a-a-ah-a-a-all
Bullets Fly, Angels Cry
Another soul runs out of time
She dropped the gun where Johnny lay
'n' thru the door she ran away
'n' th'Devil waits, just outside
till the light is gone in Johnny's eyes
Takes him home where he belongs
Th'Devil won't be denied
They'll say it's Justified
They'll say it's Justified
Jus - ti - fied
Jus - ti - fied
