Johnny 99 (Live) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band[00:00:00]

Well they closed down the auto plant in mahwah late that month[00:00:33]

Ralph went out lookin for a job but he couldn't find none[00:00:39]

He came home too drunk from mixing tanqueray and wine[00:00:46]

He got a gun shot a night clerk now they callm johnny 99[00:00:52]

Down in the part of town where[00:00:59]

When you hit a red light you don't stop[00:01:01]

Johnnys waving his gun around and threatenin to blow his top[00:01:05]

When an off duty cop snuck up on him from behind[00:01:12]

Out in front of the club tip top they slapped the cuffs on johnny 99[00:01:18]

Well the city supplied a public defender but the judge was mean john brown[00:01:25]

He came into the courtroom and stared young johnny down[00:01:32]

Well the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence son fit the crime[00:01:40]

Prison for 98 and a year and well call it even johnny 99[00:01:46]

A fist fight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag johnnys girl away[00:02:20]

His mama stood up and shouted judge don't take my boy this way[00:02:27]

Well son you got a statement you'd like to make[00:02:35]

Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away[00:02:42]

Now judge I had debts no honest man could pay[00:02:49]

The bank was holding my mortgage and they were gonna take my house away[00:02:54]

Now I ain't sayin that makes me an innocent man[00:03:01]

But it was more 'n all this that put that gun in my hand[00:03:08]

Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead[00:03:14]

So if you can take a mans life for the thoughts that's in his head[00:03:21]

Then sit back in that chair and think it over judge one more time[00:03:28]
