Johnny 99 (Live) - Bruce Springsteen (布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀)[00:00:00]
Well they closed down the auto plant[00:00:32]
In mahwah late that month[00:00:35]
Ralph went out looking for a job[00:00:39]
But he couldn't find none[00:00:41]
He came home to drunk[00:00:46]
From mixing tanqueray and wine[00:00:47]
He got a gun shot a night clerk[00:00:52]
Now they call johnny 99[00:00:54]
Down in the part of town[00:00:59]
Where when you hit a red light you don't stop[00:01:00]
Johnnys waving his gun around[00:01:05]
And threatening to blow his top[00:01:07]
When an off-duty cop snuck up[00:01:12]
On him from behind[00:01:14]
Out in front of the club tip top[00:01:18]
They slapped the cuffs on johnny 99[00:01:20]
Well the city supplied a public defender[00:01:25]
But the judge was mean john brown[00:01:29]
He came into the courtroom[00:01:32]
And stared young johnny down[00:01:35]
Well the evidence is clear gonna[00:01:40]
Let the sentence son fit the crime[00:01:42]
Prison for 98 and a year[00:01:46]
And well call it even johnny 99[00:01:49]
A fist fight broke out in the courtroom[00:02:20]
They had to drag johnnys girl away[00:02:23]
His mama stood up and shouted[00:02:27]
Judge don't take my boy this way[00:02:30]
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[00:02:48]
The bank was holding my mortgage[00:02:54]
And they were gonna take my house away[00:02:56]
Now I ain't saying that makes me an innocent man[00:03:01]
But it was more on all this[00:03:08]
That put that gun in my hand[00:03:10]
Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead[00:03:14]
So if you can take a man's life[00:03:21]
For the thoughts that's in his head[00:03:22]
Then sit back in that chair[00:03:28]
And think it over judge one more time[00:03:29]
And let them shave off my hair[00:03:34]
And put me on that killing line[00:03:36]
