lyrics

Johnny he was growin older He always had to fight
he earned a good name By the sweat of his brow

Working hard 8 to seven Sundays he was goin out
He d go Shooting drugs and kill for politicians

But as the days caught up him so did his will to fight
And one day as-he-was-walking through the fire
he put his guns aside

Drowned his ego beneath the waters and stared into the sun
What he was looking for? (he was) Looking for a sign

He went Knocking on heavens door but the heavens didnt answer
to his prayers And sent him on his way

He was a sinner was he not who thought he should be asking
for forgiveness But proved he was wrong

He walked the stairs to the gates of hell and they opened to a lake
The boatman asked him for the toll He had no money in his hand

Now he thought money was not important But again what he thought was wrong
For only rich men could set foot in the underworld

Now the only way he could set this straight was the only way he knew
he picked up his guns again And turned them to his face

Johnny was his name, killing was his game

He said: johnny is my name , knowin is my game
