Lyrics
Johnny Lee
Chorus
Johnny Lee why can`t you be true?
People grin when I`m running back to you
Johnny Lee why can`t you be true?
They say you`re no good but that ain`t true
When the crows fly and
The angels cry
I ain`t so far from you
The feelin` is different
When we `re makin` love but
What else can I do?
Chorus
I`m lost in your well and
your evil spell
Something bad may happen too
I don't care
what people say
They talk about us anyway
Bridge:
(Guitar tune)
Lord save my poor soul
For Judgment day is coming soon
Chorus 2
Johnny Lee why couldn`t you be true?
Your burying ground is where I am running to
Johnny Lee why couldn't you be true?
Your spirit will surely haunt me too
Johnny Lee, Johnny Lee.....
