lyrics

I got off early
Had a shower, a shave
A love for her, my dear so true
But she wasn't lonely
Or very well behaved, making way
Through her dress for you

Sometimes, people are going to do bad
Sometimes, they will take all that you have

Jean Jacket Johnny
Regrets his picture arms
Sells for food, the VHS
His hair full money
Glasses old enough
Can't keep from falling down your breast

Sometimes, people are going to do bad
Sometimes, they will take all that you have

Johnny and I cut ourselves up good
Until I grabbed my 32-20
Now he's dead where he stood

Then there was Honey
The only gal for me, until she, too,
Stopped her breath
Jean Jacket Johnny
Lie dead at my feet, and my sweet's
Dress to my left

Sometimes, people are going to do bad
Sometimes, they will take all that you have
