Johnny 99 - Bruce Springsteen[00:00:00]

Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late that month[00:00:16]

Ralph went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find none[00:00:22]

He came home too drunk from mixin'[00:00:28]

Tanqueray and wine[00:00:31]

He got a gun shot a night clerk now they call 'm Johnny 99[00:00:34]

Down in the part of town where[00:00:40]

When you hit a red light you don't stop[00:00:43]

Johnny's wavin' his gun around and threatenin' to blow his top[00:00:46]

When an off duty cop snuck up on him from behind[00:00:53]

Out in front of the Club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99[00:00:58]

Well the city supplied a public defender but the judge was Mean John Brown[00:01:04]

He came into the courtroom and stared poor Johnny down[00:01:11]

Well the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence son fit the crime[00:01:18]

Prison for 98 and a year and we'll call it even Johnny 99[00:01:24]

A fistfight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag Johnny's girl away[00:01:56]

His mama stood up and shouted[00:02:02]

Judge don't take my boy this way[00:02:05]

Well son you got a statement you'd like to make[00:02:10]

Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away[00:02:15]

Now judge judge I got debts no honest man could pay[00:02:22]

The bank was holdin' my mortgage and they was takin' my house away[00:02:27]

Now I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent man[00:02:34]

But it was more 'n all this that put that gun in my hand[00:02:39]

Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead[00:02:45]

And if you can take a man's life for the thoughts that's in his head[00:02:51]

Then won't you sit back in that chair[00:02:57]

And think it over judge one more time[00:02:59]

And let 'em shave off my hair and put me on that execution line[00:03:03]
