lyrics

Johnny spent the night in jail
No one would post his bail
Was arrested for armed robbery
They beat him cause he tried to flee

Witnesses swore they saw a gun
They heard a shot and saw him run
Now he’s charged with first degree
Judge asked how do you plea

Plea…. Wasn’t me….

Judge said Johnny don’t lie
Everybody saw the man die
When he reached to put his hands in the sky
He was shot right between the eyes

It would be best if you agree
Before the jury funds you guilty
Confess and beg for Mercy
Or you’ll be swinging from a hanging tree

Plea…… it Wasn’t me
Johnny Johnny..
Only the truth will set you free

It’s true he was there that night
There was a brawl a terrible fight
The shotgun fell from my hands
Johnny picked it up and ran

There was a Man hunt all over the town
They finally tracked Johnny down
Took him in for questioning
He wouldn’t reveal a thing

Plea..it wasn't me
Johnny Johnny
Only the truth will set you free

They strung a noose around Johnny’s neck
He was asked for any final requests
He took it right down to his grave
And never revealed my name

Now I think of Johnny every night
How could I let my best friend die
If I confess,his soul will be released
Then Johnny could rest in peace

Plea.. It was me….
It was me
Johnny Johnny
The truth has set you free
The truth has set you free
