lirik lagu spillwater drive - johnny irish
[verse 1]
well, they call him johnny irish
but he never really had a name
his momma waited tables at the gamblin’ hall
and his daddy ran a dirty game
they said he never had a chance in life
he had to grow up on his own
his momma died when he was 5
and daddy ran off and left him all alone
[chorus]
step up (step up), johnny irish
the hangman calls your name
step up (step up), johnny irish
eternity comes today
just 30 steps away
[verse 2]
never went to school so he can read or to write
nor went to church so he can learn how to pray
shot a man in the back when he was 14
’cause he was standin’ in his way
he robbed a bank in joplin when he was 17
k!lled a teller and a guard that day
he hit the preacher’s wife with the b~tt of his gun
as he made his getaway
[chorus]
step up (step up), johnny irish
the hangman calls your name
step up (step up), johnny irish
eternity comes today
just 30 steps away
[verse 3]
the posse found his camp on the banks of big sugar
near the cyclone flats one night
they rode in hard and surrounded him fast
and he gave up without a fight
a sheriff took his case to a 12~men jury
and said, “this boy’s gotta hang”
the judge said, “folks, it’s a terrible thing
to hang a boy whose never had a name”
[chorus]
step up (step up), johnny irish
the hangman calls your name
step up (step up), johnny irish
eternity comes today
just 30 steps away, johnny irish
the hangman calls your name
step up (step up), johnny irish
eternity comes today
just 30 steps away
