The Ballad of Johnson

[Verse] In a small town tavern Where hearts were undone There stood a man named Johnson A rebel on the run He sang his songs of turmoil Of anger and despair With his whiskey-soaked voice He filled the stagnant air [Verse] His guitar was worn But his spirit was strong He strummed and he shouted His voice a battle song Through the haze of the tavern His words rang out loud He questioned the system He challenged the crowd [Verse] Johnson's eyes sparkled with a fire within He sang of injustice The world's constant din The people gathered 'round Drawn in by his plight They felt his frustration They shared his fight Oh Johnson, you light up the night, With your heart so strong, your spirit bright, In every town, you’re the talk of the streets, Oh Johnson, you're the melody we keep. Through the highs and the lows, you stand tall, With your courage and your love, you give it all, In the story of our lives, you’re the shining sun, Oh Johnson, you’re the one, you’re the one.
