"Johnny" lyrics

I was thinking to myself this morning, watching my boys play
Of how different my life was when I was their age
Now machines control the people, and the people shoot at kids
I shudder to think about what the next thing is

Yeah, Johnny, oh, Johnny, where did you go?
The devil's broke out of Georgia and he's feasting on our souls
There's fire on the mountain and the flames are closing in
So run, get your fiddle bow and send him to hell again
Yeah, back to hell again

Yeah, I know redemption cometh, it's taking way too long
Can't you see it in our faces? Can't you hear it in our songs?
Yeah, we're holding on to hope, but we're hanging by a thread
Won't you put on your rattlesnake boot and crush that serpent head?

Yeah, Johnny, oh, Johnny, where did you go?
The devil's broke out of Georgia and he's feasting on our souls (Devil's broke out of Georgia)
There's fire on the mountain and the flames are closing in (Fire)
So run, get your fiddle bow and send him to hell again
Yeah, back to hell again

The chicken in a bread pan picking out bits
"Granny, does your dog bite these days?" "Yes"
"Child, yes"

And there's fire on the mountain and the flames are closing in (Fire on the mountain)
Run, get your fiddle bow and send him to hell again
Yeah, back to hell again
Back to hell again
Fire on the mountain

There's fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
Yeah, the devil's in the house of the rising sun
