Here are some songs
that Johnny might have written about his life. Written By Francisca Scott. (
Song no. 2) borrowed the harmony and some lyrics.)
1)
A Good Nights Entertainment
Place
yer bets we`ve set it up
See
who runs outta luck
The
boy of eleven or the one of fourteen.
What
a night of fun its been
To
see which ones faster with their gun.
We`re
both on show
coz
we`re the youngest gunfighters you`ll ever know
Child
fighters for adults to entertain
Their
enjoyment, our pain
But
this aint no childish game
Oh
God I feel so ashamed.
Chorus:
Oh mama I`m yer only son
Dont look at what i`ve
become
Still a child but just a killer with a gun
And I dont wanna be
No I dont wanna be . . . eleven.
I
swear I didnt want to kill
But
it was him or me
Kill
or be killed.
I
was faster on the draw
So
he`s the one on the floor
A
bloody mess, but they all cheer
I
hit him in the chest and i cant stop my tears
I
dont wanna hear him beg me for it
To
finish it with another bullet
Shaking,
crying, aiming my gun to his
head
But
I turned and ran instead.
Chorus:
Oh mama I`m yer only son
Dont look at what I`ve become
Still a child but just a killer with a gun
And I dont wanna be
No I dont wanna be . . eleven
Wish I was in heaven with you
Wish I was in heaven with you

A Gunfighters Dilemma
Fight,
you`ve gotta fight
To
take back your land again
And
we`ll be there
Yes
we`ll there
Justice,
you need justice
To
win back the peace again
And
we`ll be there
Yes
We`ll be there
Here
we go again
Fighting
anothers cause
Here
we go again
Breaking
their unjust laws
They
want you to believe that we
Are
nothing but bad outlaws
But
we`re willing to die alongside you.
I
know its hard for you to wait
Gotta
return before its too late
I`ll
be there, yes I`ll be there
Try
to trust in my love
I
long to share every part of me
And
I`ll be there, yes I`ll be
there
I
will always love you Anne-Marie
Cry
I hear them cry
Women
and children of the villge again
And
we`ll be there, yes we`ll be there
Guns,
pick up the guns
Freedom`s
worth fighting for
And
we`ll be there, yes we`ll be there
Here
we go again
Fighting
anothers cause
here
we go again
Breaking
their unjust laws
And
they want you to beleive that we
Are
nothing but bad outlaws
But
we`re willing to die
Alongside
you
coz
freedoms worth dying for
Coz
once we were like you
But
no one was there to help.
And
I will always love you Anne-Marie

Sorrel Canyon
dont
go to sorrel canyon
bodies
of the dead are lying there
dont
go to sorrel canyon
the
smell of death is in the air
yes
im going to sorrel canyon
someone
has to stop the killing
im
going to sorrel canyon
to
get rid of those bad men
chorus
death waits for everyone
if its waitin for me
if thats what it takes to get the job done
thats the way it has to be
dont
go to sorrel canyon
its
a big mistake
dont
go to sorrel canyon
your
lives at stake
all
of eighteen
is
your sacrifice worthwhile
but
he just picked up his canteen
and
he rode off with a smile
chorus
death waits for everyone
if its waitin for me
if thats what it takes to get the job done
thats the way it has to be
please
leave it to the law
theyre
on the way
to
them you aint no better tthan an outlaw
get
away from sorrel canyon get faraway
but
the law aint trained to fight
the
dirty tricks these men will play
just
lambs to the slaughter
so
you know i oughta go to sorrel
canyon
chorus
death waits for everyone
if its waitin for me
if thats what it takes to get the job done
thats the way it has to be
caught
between outlaws and lawmen
you
wont let either side take you alive
iwounded
but you survived
so
away from sorrel canyon you ride
no
matter what you do
no
matter how hard you try
it
will never be good enough to proove
that
what they know about you is a lie
so
this song tells the truth
of
what a good man you really are
shining
brighter than any star
shining
brighter than any star
chorus
death waits for everyone
i thought it was waiting for me
but i got the job done
wounded, alive, and im
still free
4)
Betrayed
The
lawmen put me on the frontline
for
jobs they`ll never do

nowhere to be seen

was expected to die
