Johnny's Song
Johnny was never much of a fighter, no
Never had to say to prove
Johnny would never spark up a lighter, no
He was too deep in the groove
Now Johnny could fight away temptation
With the way he played the blues
And you can bet no hesitation
On the rhythm he choose
Because he's aiming for the promised land, ooh
No he can't recall feeling that with you
That temptation followed Johnny every step he took
Through the darkness and the light
Hard floors, gold doors, cheap whores
Couldn't get Johnny to bite
Johnny pulled up his guitar and he played it real hard
He said, "Devil, it's easier to play than to fight"
Sometimes that temptation catches Johnny
But he always knows what to do
The straight and narrow isn't wrong, yet
Nobody ever sees it through
Maybe Johnny bites the apple
Dips his foot into the forbidden pool
Who after all is there to stop Johnny
From breaking every single rule
I'll offer you this deal once and only once
It's up to you to make it right
Don't fight
Cause the Devil won't let Johnny down tonight
Never had to say to prove
Johnny would never spark up a lighter, no
He was too deep in the groove
Now Johnny could fight away temptation
With the way he played the blues
And you can bet no hesitation
On the rhythm he choose
Because he's aiming for the promised land, ooh
No he can't recall feeling that with you
That temptation followed Johnny every step he took
Through the darkness and the light
Hard floors, gold doors, cheap whores
Couldn't get Johnny to bite
Johnny pulled up his guitar and he played it real hard
He said, "Devil, it's easier to play than to fight"
Sometimes that temptation catches Johnny
But he always knows what to do
The straight and narrow isn't wrong, yet
Nobody ever sees it through
Maybe Johnny bites the apple
Dips his foot into the forbidden pool
Who after all is there to stop Johnny
From breaking every single rule
I'll offer you this deal once and only once
It's up to you to make it right
Don't fight
Cause the Devil won't let Johnny down tonight
