Back in the days when a wagon ran the mail

Johnny was the sheriff and he packed the county jail

He climbed fences with his shotgun in the night

He was looking for the man who made the shine.



The men who made the whiskey were always on the run

Only surrendered at the blast of Johnny's gun

Sometimes he sat in a cornfield like a scarecrow

Until he caught them with their liquid pot of gold.



They say old Johnny could walk 100 miles

Over the mountain before the sun would rise

Making sure the that bad guys never won

Keeping order in this county with a gun.



Johnny kept 'em runnin' in the wind & rain

Back in those days he earned a dime a day

If you tried to run from Johnny and his hound

Ten days later you'd be six feet in the ground.



Chorus:

Time to run again

In the black of night

Cross the river

Got nowhere to hide/Where you gonna hide

Try to make it

Across the county line

Sun is coming up and

Johnny's right behind...
