Johnny Law

Lyrics

Streetlights glare but nothing's clear And Robin Hood, he doesn't live round here Johnny Law is in the rearview and it's no good He's gonna get us now, and it's understood And I want to know what the answer should be Flashing lights in my mind - true sounds of liberty Who is the promise for? It seems so far away No matter where I go, I just can't get away And in the burning sun There's someone on the run We'll wave the black flag We'll wave it right there in his face Johnny Law Is here today Johnny Law And it echoes here Streets of America He's gonna get you here Streets of America Who is the promise for? It seems so far away Between the bad guys and the badge Don't go alone today And in the D.C. sun There's someone on the run We'll wave the black flag Salute the one that got away From Johnny Law Let's get away From Johnny Law He wears a hundred faces Hiding out in so many places He'll cut you down to size Say your rosary tonight All over Detroit, to south L.A From a Dixie town to a capital parade Let's get away From Johnny Law Let's get away From Johnny Law Let's get away From Johnny Law Let's get away From Johnny Law
