Johnny Was A Rebel

Johnny Era um Rebelde

Johnny Was A Rebel

Johnny voltou pra casa em 67, com um pouco menos que uma recepção de heróiJohnny came home in '67 to a little bit less than a heroe's welcome
Tiros de guerra ecoando na cabeça, fico pensando no que ele deve ter pensadoGuns of war ringing in his head I wonder what he must have thought
Sobre as coisas que algumas pessoas disseramAbout the things some people said
Johnny era um rebelde, com certeza, isso estava no sangue dele, como fogo nos olhosJohnny was a rebel alright it was in his blood like fire in his eyes
Acreditando que a liberdade valia a pena ser mantida vivaBelievin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive
Johnny era um rebelde, com certeza, ele sabia onde se posicionar e onde lutarJohnny was a rebel alright he knew where to stand and where to fight
Acreditando que a liberdade valia a pena ser mantida vivaBelievin' that freedom was well worth keeping alive
Johnny era um rebelde, com certezaJohnny was a rebel alright

Ele costumava andar de Harley pelos vales e colinasHe used to ride that Harley through the hollows and the hills
Passando pela cidade em pé em uma rodaBlow through town standing on one wheel
Cabelos longos voando como um lençol ao vento, eu sabia que ele nunca se encaixariaLong hair flyin' like a sheet in the wind I knew he never would fit in
Na velha cidade natal de novoIn the old hometown again
É, Johnny era um rebelde, com certeza...Yeah Johnny was a rebel alright...

Naquela noite, no pátio do tribunal, atrás da defesa civil e da guarda nacionalThat night out on the courthouse yard behind the civil defense and the national guard
Eu vi uma multidão enfurecida sair do controle, vi Johnny levar um tiro por outro homemI saw an angry mob get out of hand I saw Johnny take a bullet for another man

Johnny morreu jovem, como os bons costumam fazer, lutando pelo certo na luta pela verdadeJohnny died young like the good often do fightin' for right in the struggle of truth
Parece um desperdício quando olho pra trás hoje, mas acho que é como ele costumava dizerIt seems like a waste when I look back today but I guess it's like he used to say
Nossa liberdade só vale tanto quanto estamos dispostos a pagarOur freedom's only worth as much as we're all willing to pay
