Ry Cooder - JOHNNY PORTER слова песни
(Bobby Ray Appleberry/William Cuomo) Johnny Porter was the oldest in his family And I remember he was almost twenty one Y`know I can`t quite explain the situation But he broke into his father`s truck and stole a gun Mother running down the highway screaming Johnny it`s too bad, oh it`s too and it`s bad And it`s too bad Well, his father wonders where he got the money And he wonders if he got it right or wrong Then Johnny killed a man in Pensacola, Florida And he caught a freight train and and took off on the run Well, run, Johnny, run They`re rolling right behind you Run, Johnny, run You know they`re gonna find you You come out late at night, `cause you`re running for your life Hum, Johnny Porter Johnny Porter Yeah, yeah, yeah Well, it`s a shame the way you make your mother worry And it`s hurts inside to sit and watch her cry And it will be a long time before she knows the answer But it won`t be long before she will see ya die Well, I was standing in my front door early this morning So sad, when I heard my name was said Johnny Porter was no good than anybody But I hate to see him throw his life away Now, run, Johnny, run They`re rolling right behind you Run, Johnny, run You know they`re gonna find you You come out late at night, `cause you`re running for your life Well, Johnny Porter, Johnny Porter Found him holed up in some dark and dirty building Heard his mother begging, "Please, let Johnny go!" That`s when John fired his pistol As a warning and he said, "I was born to die by the gun" "I was born to die by the gun" "I was born to die by the gun"
