Lyrics Ballad of Johnny and Jack - Jinkx Monsoon
It
was
a
nowhere
town
down
a
no-name
road
when
it
was
falling
by
the
freeway
dives
And
you
know
Johnny
and
Jack
were
never
going
back
if
it
was
all
they
ever
did
with
their
lives
Yeah,
after
17
years
of
saying
yes
and
please
and
being
bored
of
the
old
homestead
They
thought
it's
time
to
see
some
other
folks
get
down
on
their
knees
and
have
'em
begging
out
please
instead
You
see,
Johnny
would
have
fun
when
Jack
would
pull
out
his
gun
and
go
BRACKITY-BRICKITY-BOP-A-BANG-BOOM
And
Johnny's
sweet
lies
when
he
batted
those
eyes
and
said,
"Oh
lover,
come
sit
down"
You
wanna
go
for
a
ride?
And
they
were
almost
making
it
work
They
had
the
world
going
rattle
and
jerk
But
when
the
blood
in
the
veins
cooled
down
They
had
to
take
it
to
the
next
town
For
a
highway
bound
crazy
couple
of
kids
you
know
the
living
didn't
turn
out
bad
Only
paying
for
gas,
going
nowhere
fast,
and
robbing
folks
for
all
that
they
had
They'd
make
a
quick
pit
stop
at
every
Mom
and
Pop
and
squeeze
'em
out
of
every
dime
They
never
hit
one
snag
'til
they
threatened
a
nag
right
behind
'em
in
the
checkout
line
("CALL
THE
COPS!")
But
Johnny
still
got
the
thrill
when
Jack
was
shooting
to
kill
and
going
BRACKITY-BRICKITY-BOP-A-BANG-BOOM
And
Jack
was
all
sighs,
looking
in
Johnny's
eyes
and
hearing
"Oh,
I
promise,
baby,
never
again"
Now
let's
put
it
in
drive
They
were
almost
making
it
work
They
had
the
world
going
rattle
and
jerk
But
when
the
blood
in
the
veins
cooled
down
They
had
to
take
it
to
the
next
town
You
know
they
didn't
even
pass
up
the
county
line
before
the
law
could
call
an
end
to
their
game
Yeah,
there
were
32
of
the
boys
in
blue
barricading
each
and
every
land
And
only
then
did
Jack
think
of
turning
back
He
said,
"Baby,
we've
gone
to
far"
But
Johnny
wasn't
there,
said
he
didn't
care
"If
they
want
us,
well
here
we
are"
Deputy
One
shot
out
Jackie's
gun
With
a
BRACKITY-BRICKITY-BOP-A-BANG-BOOM
And
Officer
Byer
looked
in
Johnny's
eyes
and
said,
"Oh
honey,
you
couldn't
win"
Now
let's
go
for
a
ride
So
beware
of
the
boys
who
bat
their
eyes
and
steal
your
soul
Break
the
other
line
that
binds
you,
but
make
sure
you
know
where
to
go
'Cause
they
were
almost
making
it
work
They
had
the
world
going
rattle
and
jerk
But
when
the
blood
in
the
veins
cooled
down
They
had
to
take
it
to
the
next
town
'Cause
they
were
almost
making
it
work
They
had
the
world
going
rattle
and,
rattle
and
jerk
Almost
making
it
work.
They
had
the
world
going
rattle
and
jerk.
