Johnny Was A Rebel

Johnny came home in '67 to a little bit less than a heroe's welcome Guns of war ringing in his head I wonder what he must have thought About the things some people said Johnny was a rebel alright it was in his blood like fire in his eyes Believin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive Johnny was a rebel alright he knew where to stand and where to fight Believin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive Johnny was a rebel alright He used to ride that Harley through the hollows and the hills Blow through town standing on one wheel Long hair flyin' like a sheet in the wind I knew he never would fit in In the old hometown again Yeah Johnny was a rebel alright... That night out on the courthouse yard behind the civil defense and the national guard I saw an angry mob get out of hand I saw Johnny take a bullet for another man
