lyrics

johnny was an outlaw man,
rode his horse over the sand,
stoney ground and rattlesnakes,
everyday was make or break,
johnny had what it takes,
to make a break or rob a bank,
he'll raise the stakes and clear the place,
with a single wave of his ace of spades..

lamy was a mining town,
johnny stopped to have a round,
theres the sheriff of the place,
he recognized johhnys face,
no drinks were laid,
no games were plaid,
the cigars burned,
no laughter heard,
distant and a bit absurd,
the crying of the desert bird..

breaks away when the deed is done,
on horseback in the setting sun,
golden hour outlaw man,
steel hip deadly hand,
a dusty booted peter pan,
fades in the the western land..

shoot the moon johnny..
