The Ballad of Johnny Steel

by Kail Baxley

on A Light That Never Dies (2015)

Dead on the mark dead on the gold
Gotta settle the cards, settle the score
He's gotta deep scare that he's buried down low
Mean ass swagger man, quick on the draw
It's been a long time since he come around here
He's look'N for a man that they call Johnny Steel

"Run' Run' Run get'cha fill
Bullet with your name, prey if you will boy...

But ain't no mercy for ya, ain't no mercy for you
Said ain't no mercy for ya, ain't no mercy for you
Not you.."

Tally Ho, ready to go...
Caught a dead man walk'N but the side of the road
Told him, "Johhny Steel I'ma send you to hell"
Crushed like a hammer when the silence fell

"Said ain't no mercy for ya, ain't no mercy for you... Not you
Ain't no mercy for ya, ain't no mercy for you
Not you.."
