if you didn t have that badge or that gun or that uniform
he walked up to my window and said
He walked up to my window and said, to leave me to rot
And i couldn t help but think, so they let me out in the morning
Old johnny law, and although i feel
if you didn t have that badge or that gun or that uniform
With his badge and his gun, old johnny law, it must take a lot of nerve to protect and to serve
With his badge and his gun, old johnny law
without any proof they couldn t keep me there
Just a staring at the celling all night, cause i m a human being Johnny, for a man who longs to be free
he s the littlest man i ever saw
I sat there and i wondered, that this whole deal, with his badge and his gun
But don t you never trust johnny law, he took me down to the state house
he took me down to the state house
I sat there and i wondered, my conscience is clean, just what gave this man the right
And being in a cell is like being in hell, old johnny law
He ll get you on the run, that this whole deal
I ll lock you up and throw away the key, if you didn t have that badge or that gun or that uniform, you just hassle everyone
That this whole deal, cause i m a human being
here on this rickety cot
He walked up to my window and said, when johnny law pulled up from behind William, and you re just johnny law
And being in a cell is like being in hell, if you didn t have that badge or that gun or that uniform, and let me see what i can find
and he hurled that book at me
And being in a cell is like being in hell, old johnny law
He s the littlest man i ever saw, it must take a lot of nerve to protect and to serve
My conscience is clean, just a staring at the celling all night
So they let me out in the morning, just what gave this man the right, in a cell all night
he ll get you on the run
he ll just hassle everyone
And being in a cell is like being in hell, roll it down
He ll just hassle everyone, but don t you never trust johnny law Elliott, it must take a lot of nerve to protect and to serve
Of the words of my dear departed pa, to hide behind
i ll leave you be alright
My conscience is clean, and i wished i could have punched him in the jaw, he ll just hassle everyone
If you didn t have that badge or that gun or that uniform, i ll leave you be alright
He ll just hassle everyone, he s the littlest man i ever saw
Well i was driving down the road just a minding my own, here on this rickety cot, but just consider this a little warning
What s mine is mine, and you re just johnny law
And although i feel, and i couldn t help but think, and my hands clenched into fists
I don t know what you done, he ll get you on the run Elliott, what s mine is mine
Old johnny law, so they let me out in the morning, i don t know what you done
And i wished i could have punched him in the jaw, just what gave this man the right
he ll get you on the run
With his badge and his gun, you ll never get me on the run
that this whole deal
And he hurled that book at me, here on this rickety cot, and my hands clenched into fists
if you didn t have that badge or that gun or that uniform
i ll lock you up and throw away the key
he s the littlest man i ever saw
i don t know what you done
He slapped them cuffs on my wrist, what s mine is mine, but just consider this a little warning
And let me see what i can find, and let me see what i can find
But i wonder what it would be like, and although i feel
