Default TheNiceGuy's Songwriting Stash

I've taken an interest in songwriting and lyrics recently and so I've decided to pen some of my own.

For want of a better name, the first one is called "Johnny Smith"

1.

No man wants to live in a cell,
But Johnny Smith had it coming,
When he gave a man his death,
There was no point in running,
Away from a dead man,
Bleeding out one last breath...

Oooh Johnny Johnny,
You're not the man you could've been,
Oooh Johnny Johnny,
You're not the guy you should've been,

He was sentenced for 40 years,
oh but it feels like life,
Johnny was guilty he was holding the knife,
oh but he doesn't regret it,

It was all for a thrill,
Just one lousy kill...

Oooh Johnny Johnny,
You're not the man you might've been
Oooh Johnny Johnny,
Look at what you've turned out to be

Now Johnny lives in steel and stone,
and his heart is the same,
He doesn't mourn for those that are gone,
Because he was to blame,
No remorse, no wince of pain,
What else do I have to say?

Oooh Johnny Smith
(What could you have been?)

Oooh Johnny Smith
(You're a cold machine)

Oooh Johnny Smith
(Die in hell you fiend)

Oooh Johnny Smith
(Where would you have been?)

Oooh Johnny Smith...

Oooh Johnny Smith... (fade out)
