Johnny - Cody Jinks

Locked him up back in '69

On clear Kentucky shine

Then again in '87, cornbread, smoke fed

The Marion county line

It is time, he did his time

Thirteen of twenty served

And that far outweighed his crime

He came back a wiser man

He came back to do what he’d do

He’d do it every time

It is time

He did his time

When they came bustin' in last year

Like a smoke ring he’s up and gone

But he wouldn’t have to go too far

When the folks 'round here

They don’t trust no law, no way

Hey run, Johnny, run

Hey run, Johnny run

Hey now run now, run, Johnny run

A man’s words all he’s got

A man’s law don’t mean a damn

To the down-home southern folk

That live by the law of the land, not Uncle Sam

It’s their land

It’s our land

No one knows who you’re talkin' ‘bout

No one’s seen, they’ve all gone blind

Knowin' he’ll be back someday

To do what he’d do, what he’d do

He’d do it every time

He did his time

And no more time

And they’re still chasin' down old ghosts

And they’re still askin' on deaf ears

But he wouldn’t have to go too far

When the folks 'round here

They don’t trust no law, no way

Hey run, Johnny, run

Hey run, Johnny run

Hey now run now, run, Johnny run

Never mind no song, keep your head down boy

Run, Johnny run

You can rest at my place when the day is done

Hey now, run Johnny, run now run, Johnny run

Hey now, run now, run Johnny run

Never mind no song, keep your head down, boy

And run, Johnny run

He can rest at my place when the day is done
