Johnny
Now Big John Lee's had it out for me
Ever since I hit town
He don't like the way I sing my songs
Or lay my rhythm down
But the girl on his arm caught a whiff of my charm
Sees things another way
And ol' John's been watchin' her panties get soppin'
Every time I take the stage
And I'm thinkin'
Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Well he used to be, but now it's time for me to shine
Now, John is a great big biker man
A leader of a local gang
There's many a man that have ate those hands
And all eight of his rings
And them prison tattoos, they're telltale clues
He's brawled some in the yard
But when I've got a 45 on my side
It don't matter how tough you are
And I'm thinkin'
Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Well, he used to be, but now it's time for me to shine
I know John ain't home when I hear my phone
Ringin' out Back Door Man
And if he knew about what I make her shout
He'd send me to the promised land
Well, he may be feared, but he's up in years
While me, I'm in my prime
So if Big John Lee wants to fuck with me
He can come get it any time
And I'm thinkin'
Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Well, he used to be, but now it's time for me to shine
I said he used to be, but now I think I'm gonna shine
Ever since I hit town
He don't like the way I sing my songs
Or lay my rhythm down
But the girl on his arm caught a whiff of my charm
Sees things another way
And ol' John's been watchin' her panties get soppin'
Every time I take the stage
And I'm thinkin'
Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Well he used to be, but now it's time for me to shine
Now, John is a great big biker man

And I'm thinkin'

Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Well, he used to be, but now it's time for me to shine
I know John ain't home when I hear my phone

Quite so bad as he once was
Naw, Johnny ain't quite so bad
Quite so bad as he once was
Well, he used to be, but now it's time for me to shine
I said he used to be, but now I think I'm gonna shine
