[00:17.511]	Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late that month
[00:22.296]	Ralph went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find none
[00:28.589]	He came home too drunk from mixin'Tanqueray and wine
[00:34.854]	He got a gun shot a night clerk now they call'm Johnny 99
[00:41.309]	Down in the part of town where when you hit a red light you don't stop
[00:47.789]	Johnny's wavin' his gun around and threatenin' to blow his top
[00:53.187]	When an off duty cop snuck up on him from behind
[00:59.302]	Out in front of the Club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99
[01:05.088]	Well the city supplied a public defender but the judge was Mean John Brown
[01:11.578]	He came into the courtroom and stared young Johnny down
[01:19.055]	Well the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence son fit the crime
[01:24.048]	Prison for 98 and a year and we'll call it even Johnny 99
[01:56.800]	A fistfight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag Johnny's girl away
[02:03.155]	His mama stood up and shouted "Judge don't take my boy this way"
[02:09.238]	Well son you got a statement you'd like to make
[02:15.374]	Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away
[02:22.379]	Now judge judge I had debts no honest man could pay
[02:28.223]	The bank was holdin' my mortgage and they was takin' my house away
[02:33.236]	Now I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent man
[02:40.007]	But it was more 'n all this that put that gun in my hand
[02:46.545]	Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead
[02:51.248]	And if you can take a man's life for the thoughts that's in his head
[02:57.625]	Then won't you sit back in that chair and think it over judge one more time
[03:03.426]	And let 'em shave off my hair and put me on that execution line
