Johnny Was A Rebel
Lyricist:Collie George Mark
Johnny came home in '67 To a little bit less than a hero's welcome Guns of war ringing in his head I wonder what he must have thought About the things some people said
Johnny was a rebel, alright, it was in his blood like fire in his eyes Believin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive Johnny was a rebel, alright, he knew where to stand and where to fight Believin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive Johnny was a rebel, alright
He used to ride that Harley through the hollows and the hills Blow through town standing on one wheel Long hair flyin' like a sheet in the wind I knew he never would fit in In the old hometown again
Yeah, Johnny was a rebel alright, it was in his blood like fire in his eyes Believin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Johnny was a rebel, alright, he knew where to stand and where to fight Believin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive Johnny was a rebel, alright
That night out on the courthouse yard Behind the civil defense and the national guard I saw an angry mob get out of hand I saw Johnny take a bullet for another man
Johnny died young like the good often do Fightin' for right in the struggle of truth It seems like a waste when I look back today But I guess it's like he used to say Our freedom's only worth as much as we're all willing to pay
Johnny was a rebel, alright Johnny was a rebel, alright, yes he was Johnny was a rebel, alright, yes he was Johnny was a rebel, alright, yes he was
