[A]
Well, they closed down the auto plant in my wallet last night
Ralph went out looking for a job [E] but he couldn't find none
He [A] came home drunk from mixing tequila and wine
He got a gun, sat a knife, put [E] down the gun, Johnny [A] 99
Down in the corner town where you hear the red light, he don't stop
Johnny is waving a gun around the prevalent [E] employer's car
[A] When an off-duty cop snuck up on him from behind
Out front of the [D#] club, tip-top, [E] they snapped the cops on Johnny [A] 99
Well, they'll say [D] he's a blind, a bullet defender, [A] but the judge was me, John Brown
He came into the courtroom and stared for [E] Johnny down
Well, [A] the evidence is clear, gonna let the sentence fit the crime
98 and a year, [E] we'll call that even Johnny [A] 99
They [A]
[D] [E]

[D] [E]
[A]
[D] spot a drunk cop in the courtroom, [A] they had to drive Johnny's girl away
His mama stood up and shouted, judge, don't take my [E] boy this way
[Bm] Well, [A] son, you got a statement you'd like to make
[A] Before the bailiff comes [E] down for him and take [A] you away
Now, judge, judge, I had no debt so all this man could pay
The bank was holding my mortgage, they were taking my [E] house away
[A] Now, I ain't saying that makes me an innocent man
But it was more than a flesh [E] tag, put that gun [A] in my hand
Well, your honor, I do believe I did better off dead
And if you can't take a mask off for the boss that's in his head
[E] Then [A] won't you sit back in that chair and think it over just one more time
Let him shave up my head and [E] put me on the execution [A]
