|
Johnny too bad now, don'tcha know |
|
As he pushed that old Chevy down to Mexico |
|
Thought he'd give Vera Cruz a whirl |
|
Picking up the language from the local girls |
|
People say this world sure can chew you up |
|
But he lived by the dice trusting his good luck - alright |
|
So he found himself a home and he got a girl |
|
And he didn't want for nothing in this whole world |
|
Swore he'd give up running if they'd let him be |
|
Living was simple but it sure was free |
|
Hey there, darling what's your hurry now? |
|
Come sit with me and watch the sun go down |
|
Chorus: |
|
And you can see him smile when the day is done |
|
'Cause the last sunset is the prettiest one |
|
The last sunset is the prettiest one |
|
Wasn't long before the sirens came |
|
From miles away like they were calling his name |
|
Found a picture that he'd never seen, taken at the last bank in Abilene |
|
So he says to his wife, "My running days are done" |
|
And he sits on his porch and he lets them come |
|
(chorus repeats x2) |
