Testi di Johnny Was - Slapshot

Johnny Was (originale)

Johnny was a good boy
But got messed up by the wrong crowd
Everybody liked him
And he made his mother proud
But Johnny had a habit
And it wasn’t smoking crack
In the wrong place at the wrong time
He took a bullet in the back
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was a gangster
Just 13 with a 45
He was living in a neighborhood where you fight to stay alive
Johnny wouldn’t listen
He was told to get away
Now he’s learned his lesson
Look what happens when you stay
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was

(traduzione)

Johnny era un bravo ragazzo
Ma è stato incasinato dalla folla sbagliata
Piaceva a tutti
E ha reso sua madre orgogliosa
Ma Johnny aveva un'abitudine
E non stava fumando crack
Nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato
Ha preso un proiettile nella schiena
Johnny lo era
Johnny lo era
Johnny era un gangster
Solo 13 con un 45
Viveva in un quartiere in cui combatti per rimanere in vita
Johnny non ascolterebbe
Gli è stato detto di scappare
Ora ha imparato la lezione
Guarda cosa succede quando rimani
Johnny lo era
Johnny lo era
Johnny lo era
Johnny lo era
