《Johnny 99(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Johnny 99 (Live) - Bruce Springsteen (布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀)

[00:00:32] Well they closed down the auto plant

[00:00:35] In mahwah late that month

[00:00:39] Ralph went out looking for a job

[00:00:41] But he couldn't find none

[00:00:46] He came home to drunk

[00:00:47] From mixing tanqueray and wine

[00:00:52] He got a gun shot a night clerk

[00:00:54] Now they call johnny 99

[00:00:59] Down in the part of town

[00:01:00] Where when you hit a red light you don't stop

[00:01:05] Johnnys waving his gun around

[00:01:07] And threatening to blow his top

[00:01:12] When an off-duty cop snuck up

[00:01:14] On him from behind

[00:01:18] Out in front of the club tip top

[00:01:20] They slapped the cuffs on johnny 99

[00:01:25] Well the city supplied a public defender

[00:01:29] But the judge was mean john brown

[00:01:32] He came into the courtroom

[00:01:35] And stared young johnny down

[00:01:40] Well the evidence is clear gonna

[00:01:42] Let the sentence son fit the crime

[00:01:46] Prison for 98 and a year

[00:01:49] And well call it even johnny 99

[00:02:20] A fist fight broke out in the courtroom

[00:02:23] They had to drag johnnys girl away

[00:02:27] His mama stood up and shouted

[00:02:30] Judge don't take my boy this way

[00:02:35] Well son you got a statement you'd like to make

[00:02:42] Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away

[00:02:48] Now judge I had debts no honest man could pay

[00:02:54] The bank was holding my mortgage

[00:02:56] And they were gonna take my house away

[00:03:01] Now I ain't saying that makes me an innocent man

[00:03:08] But it was more on all this

[00:03:10] That put that gun in my hand

[00:03:14] Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead

[00:03:21] So if you can take a man's life

[00:03:22] For the thoughts that's in his head

[00:03:28] Then sit back in that chair

[00:03:29] And think it over judge one more time

[00:03:34] And let them shave off my hair

[00:03:36] And put me on that killing line
