Slippin' Into Darkness
guitar chords lyrics
Run, away
That's all he's ever done
Ever since he was a young boy
He's been livin' on the run
His mama passed away
His daddy drank too much
He had a pusher man
To keep him out of touch
And he prayed
Oh, lord it can't go on this way
Gonna buy me a six gun
And blow the world away
And now he's
Slippin' into darkness
Johnny's got a gun
And now he's
Slippin' into darkness
Johnny's got a gun
He's got nowhere to run
Slippin' into darkness
He'll slowly lose his mind
And then he's gonna cross the line
At seventeen
Thought he was Jimmy Dean
Big man in a big gang
With a big job goin' down
King of the lost boys
Playin' with the wrong boys
Come on and stick 'em up
Or else I'll shoot you down
And he cries, cries
Oh Lord, someone got in the way
My gun went off and then
I blew his world away
And now I'm
Slippin' into darkness
Johnny's got a gun
He's got nowhere to run
Slippin' into darkness
Nowhere left to hide
From what he's feelin' deep inside
Slippin' into darkness
He's gonna lose his mind
Headin' for the borderline
You can run
But you never can hide
One by one
Memories flashin' through your mind
What is done
Always stays deep inside
You're goin' down boy, down, down
Run, run, run away
That's all he's ever done
One day he's gonna end up
On the wrong side of a gun
Slippin' into darkness
Johnny's got a gun
He's got nowhere to run
Slippin' into darkness
Nowhere left to hide
From what he's feelin' deep inside
Gonna run, gonna run, gonna run
Slippin'
