Nitro - Johnny Died on Christmas lyrics

Johnny said, mom, I'm gone I'm ditching this town Ain't gonna catch me hanging around Hollywood is the place for me I'm gonna be a star ma, wait and see No place to stay, no food to eat Started pushing d** just to make ends meet Living too fast, there was no escape God save Johnny before it's too late On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died He packed his bags and headed west To beat the odds and to do his best You could hear his mama cry Don't go, 'cause you're gonna die Johnny said things are getting bad Don't think they'll get good I got to get off this crack Yeah, I think I should A life of crime ain't the life for me No place to stay and no food to eat Now I'm shooting up and living on the streets Living too fast and there's no way out God save my soul, I've just got to get out On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died He packed his bags and headed west To beat the odds and to do his best You could hear his mama cry Don't go, 'cause you're gonna die No place to stay and he couldn't see straight Died shooting up and he was full of hate Died so fast, there was no escape God could have saved Johnny, but it was too late So damn young, just a kid, what a waste On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died On Christmas Johnny died He packed his bags and headed west To beat the odds and to do his best You could hear his mama cry Don't go, 'cause you're gonna die
