Well it looks like Johnny BlackGun woke up and he found himself a ride…
He put the pedal to the metal, now he’s tailing my left side…
I could swing to the left or swing to right,
Now I could keep on driving all through the night
But when the BlackGun coming for you, there ain’t nowhere to hide…
It started way back when the whole country was strapped for cash
Didn't know if your next meal was gonna be your last…
Well me and my baby, we needed them funds,
but now we’re outlaws living on the run.
Can’t beat the BlackGun cause Johnny be way too fast…
When the BlackGun coming for you, what you gonna run for?
Johnny made good money and you know what a ton for…
They can call him up, and for a real nice price,
They pay him big bucks to be not so nice…
When the blackGun coming for you, you know you’re done for…
Well it looks like Johnny BlackGun woke up and found himself a ride…
Put the pedal to the metal, now he’s tailing my left side…
I could swing to the left or swing to right,
I could keep on driving all through the night
But when the BlackGun coming for you, there ain’t nowhere to hide…
Now I’m feeling kind of dizzy and my hands are starting to sweat
I could turn and fight, or keep running ‘til the engine’s dead…
Well I hit my brakes and I stopped on a dime,
I smashed Johnny’s car right into mine…
Now I’m standing and he’s not, how lucky does a man get?
But how could I be sure if the BlackGun was really dead?
I walked over to his car; I put two in the back of his head…
Ten miles southwest, thinking we were free,
Then I saw another vehicle coming for me
Couldn’t believe… Could it be? How lucky does a man get?!
Well it looks like Johnny BlackGun woke up and found himself a ride…
Put the pedal to the metal, now he’s tailing my left side…
I could zig to the left or zag to right,
I could keep on running “til the mornin’ light
But when the BlackGun coming for you, there ain’t nowhere to hide…
Oh baby when the BlackGun coming, oh the BlackGun coming, oh!
Baby, when the BlackGun coming, oh the BlackGun coming, oh!
I gave my baby that cash and my love, and I told her to run
She pleaded, “Where you going?!”, I said, “I’m making sure this gets done!”…
Johnny raised his shooter and I raised mine,
And we pulled those triggers for just one more time
The game is over, but I admit, I’ve had me some fun!
Well it looks like Johnny BlackGun has come to the end of his ride!
But me too, I’ve got a bullet tucked up in my left side now…
Well at least I saved my baby girl, now Johnny waiting on me in the underworld,
When the BlackGun coming for you, there ain’t nowhere to hide…
Oh baby when the BlackGun coming, oh the BlackGun coming, oh!
Baby, when the BlackGun coming, oh the BlackGun coming, oh now!
Well at least I saved my baby girl, now Johnny waiting on me in the underworld,
When the BlackGun coming for you, there ain’t nowhere to hide…
Johnny B, still hunting for me, even after we died…
