Johnny Was Lyrics - Slapshot

Johnny was a good boy 

But got messed up by the wrong crowd 

Everybody liked him 

And he made his mother proud 

But Johnny had a habit 

And it wasn't smoking crack 

In the wrong place at the wrong time 

He took a bullet in the back 

Johnny was 

Johnny was 

Johnny was a gangster 

Just 13 with a 45 

He was living in a neighborhood where you fight to stay alive 

Johnny wouldn't listen 

He was told to get away 

Now he's learned his lesson 

Look what happens when you stay 

Johnny was 

Johnny was 

Johnny was 

Johnny was
