Cornmeal - Johnny Put Down Your Gun lyrics

Johnny Put Down Your Gun words and music by Chris Gangi Chorus: Johnny put down your gun oh Johnny Johnny put down your gun ole son Grab yourself a girl and go get married Cuz life ain't worth living on the run Johnny was born in old Kentucky High in the hills of northern Boone Folks been saying since he's a baby Johnny was born to break the rules Chorus: Johnny was raised by the barrel But shooting bottles and cans just wouldn't do He took his first bank at age eleven The Pennsylvania Trust at twenty-two Chorus: It was a cold November down in Preston And things went quiet on the plains When Johnny walked into the barroom He met a little girl of his dreams Chorus: But you know that Johnny would never settle He high tailed it out by the first of spring He hooked up a 42o out of Boise But the sheriff took him down near Aberdeen
