lyrics

Johnny was a boy he ran his mouth in the town
Momma told ‘em couldn’t tell his ups from his downs
He had a heart full of pride
Momma pointed, and said follow the tracks
Don’t come home, don’t look back
Empty bottle of gin
Just like his father left ‘em
Lives his life on his own terms in his mind it had to work
Hopped into a boxcar
With some dope and a lost cause
Yeah it should’ve killed him
Broke down, full of sin.

Took a match from the back of the bar,
striked it fast, and ran real far, he burned it all to the ground
With all the people around
Went on down to Phoenix
Hoping someone to be there
when he arrives
But to his surprise
All his friends on the streets
Went and passed him by
With his defeat
Johnny Bryce was beat

Couldnt escape the light
Couldnt escape the life
Couldnt escape the law
