THE GHOST OF JOHNNY BLACK

You look over your shoulder
As you're running in the fading light
And everyone is searching for you
'Cos you killed a man here tonight
Your eyes are wide with terror
As you open up your mouth and scream
The devil that you're running from
Is me

I am the ghost of Johnny Black

Your hands are gripped together
As you ask the lord to save your soul
But it's too late for praying now
'Cos Heaven ain't where you're gonna go
Well, girl, to err is human
But to punish sinners is divine
You're gonna pay for your crime
Tonight

I am the ghost of Johnny Black
