JOHNNY DON'T CARE

Music & Lyrics by Greg Harper


Johnny was born into a life of crime
[well] Johnny didn't care and Johnny didn't mind

It was late at night outside a desert motel
Not a single sound `cept the night bird's call
A car drove in just Johnny and a guy
And a deal went down under that night sky

Johnny was born into a life of crime
Johnny didn't care and Johnny didn't mind

Johnny met Jane just before the fall
And by spring's early blooms heard their baby's call
Janey tried her best to change his ways
She repeatedly said Johnny crime don't pay

But there was too much cryin' uh huh
Just too much Lyin' uh huh

Johnny was born into a life of crime
Johnny didn't care and Johnny didn't mind

Now Johnny knew best as guys often do
Met under the bridge for a deal or two
The deal went wrong a gun was the call
And alone in the dark Johnny did fall

Johnny was born into a life of crime
[well] Johnny didn't care and Johnny didn't mind

Now I hear tell Janey moved away
Took her baby to a new state far away
She never had the urge never had the call
To visit the place where Johnny fell
