copyright - the highball hooligans 2009
Red Giant Johnny he was ready to go
shut out on the street now it's life on the road
spent the sharks money
but still lookin' for some action
Let all his cash ride on the dice
lost all the sharks money and didn't think twice
a beggar when bust
but on top'a the world when RO-LLIN'
-REFRAIN-
If he'd just listened to what he had been told
He bet on black but should'a bet red
when the ball hit home he knew he was dead
'cause that double or nothin'
would send him to the ground
They picked him up and drug him out
he knew there was no point to shout
cause on this backstreet
there wasn't a soul around, RESOUND
(REFRAIN)
He pleaded double or nothin' for his life
made up some kids and then he faked a wife
to try to hang on just for one more day
Shot dead in an alley out in NYC
the blood ran red because of his deeds
as the clock ticked his last breath away, AWAY
(REFRAIN)
Johnny was another scab on the road
He was a-nother misfit, not the complacent type
SO THEY SAY
