Oh baby, you know you missed the fight
(He’s a trouble maker, he’s a trouble man)
Alligator wrecked the bar last night
(He’s a trouble maker, he’s a trouble man)
I guess he had fun, to some people fun is a drag
Gathers lady had to hitch a ride
(She’s a trouble lady, to a trouble man)
She got picked up by some guys in some band
You’d never believe what they did to a fan
They found a ‘C’ on her back, and a lead guitar strap in her hand
“Arrive down on N.T.C. in a blue Ford van, wanted for the connection of the
murder of a man”
Go Johnny, do what you want to do
“Hey, hey, blue. I here this Johnny’s band is red hot”
“Alright let’s check him out”
Go Johnny, do what you want to do
So go, Johnny
“Don’t you know I’m a man” (go, go, Johnny)

1-85 thru’ the south land (Johnny)
“And my fingers are cold, but my managers tan, so watch out”
(go, go Johnny)
“On the road in a dangerous van” ( go, go, Johnny)
Watch ’em burn thru the South land
With my axe in my hand, Watch out, for
Johnny Gore And The ‘C’ Eaters Band

“Holy Jesus, look at ‘Gator up there, he’s got Johnny Gore on
Stage by his hair”
“Come on guys, give the Gators a hand. I paid two dollars
Just to see this ba, ba, band”
“And I ain’t gonna let no loser, put the screw on the show”
“So give us a hand ‘Gators crazy you know”!
Go Johnny, do what you want to do
“Hey man, someone throw this dude out of here”
“Don’t give a damn about his old lady”
Go Johnny, do what you want to do
So go Johnny
“Hey baby, don’t you know I’m a man”!
So go Johnny

1-85 thru’ the south land (Johnny)
“And my fingers are cold, but my managers tan, so watch out”
(go, go Johnny)
“On the road in a dangerous van” ( go, go, Johnny)
Watch ’em burn thru the South land
With my axe in my hand, Watch out, for
Johnny Gore And The ‘C’ Eaters Band
