Jessi Tailor - Johnny Craig (Ghost in the Trees Version) Lyrics

I met him dancing in the neighbors woods
A place I never should have gone
He kept on sayin we'd be good
If we stepped into it on and on
I told him it was just pretend
And that we should move on

Oh Johnny Craig you broke me down
Turn my heart to mud on the ground
Watched the sunset in my eyes
But you keep me hostage with all your lies

I told him we should abandon it
Before the dogs sound alarm
I followed like a thirsty mutt
Despite the warnings all around

But as the sun set right there and then
That whore Sally Craig screamin' cross the lawn
Mom! He's turned himself gay!

Oh Johnny Craig you broke me down
Turned my heart to crud on the ground
Watched the sparks fly in my eyes
Lord knows this'll be the last time

Mrs Craig slammed out the kitchen door
Screaming Johnny you goddamnd f-slur
She turned to me with a deadly glare
That's when Mr Craig caught my eye
Said son haven't you done enough?
Corrupting my boy shoulda told you off
Said I never knew it would end this way
I didn't mean it sir honest mistake
He shoved me down barrel in my face
Sally grab a rug we'll set him ablaze
I begged Johnny please let me free
Just say anything please save me
His ma and pa would hear no protest
What if this got out Johnny? Think with your head?
And so I sat rolled up there
Watched my traitor with burning tears

Oh johnny craig you've broke me down
Burned my heart through me right on out
But you never did care if I'd live or die
Wish I could have loved you in another life
