Lyrics:
Well, they closed down the Ford plant in Mahwah late that month
Johnny went out lookin’ for a job, but he couldn’t find none
He came home too drunk from mixin’ Tanqueray and wine
Got a gun, shot a night clerk, now they call’m Johnny 99

It was down in a part of town with a red light, buddy, you don’t stop
Johnny’s wavin’ a gun around and threatenin’ to blow his top
When an off-duty cop snuck up on him from behind
Right there in front of the Club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99

Well, the city supplied a public defender but the judge was Mean John Brown
He came into the courtroom and stared poor Johnny down
Well, the evidence is clear, gonna let the sentence son, fit the crime
Prison for 98 and a year and we’ll call it even Johnny 99

Well, a fistfight broke out in the courtroom
They had to drag Johnny’s girl away
His mama stood up and shouted
“Judge don’t take my boy this way”
Well, I'm sorry ma'am but the law must be satisfied
At your son's killing hands an innocent man died

You got anything you want to say son, before you ride
Judge, the bank was gonna come and take my house away
I had debts Your Honor, no honest man could pay
Well, now I ain’t sayin’ that makes me an innocent man
But it was more ‘n all this, sir, that put that gun in my hand

Now Your Honor, I do believe I’d be better off dead
So if you can take a man’s life for the thoughts that’s in his head
And I do believe sir, I'd be better off a dead man
‘Cause I shot that young boy
I shot him Judge, and I ran
