Lyrics

Johnny Rumble

Well he was every school girls dream
He was what every man wanted to be
Those poor girls hearts would never mend
Rockabilly rebel to the end

Born with a guitar in his hand
Didn't take long 'till he ruled the land
Way too cool for the Sullivan show
Why he took that ride we'll never know

Chorus:

Please don't try, please don't try
That's what she said from the passenger side
Please don't try, please don't try
Smell of burnin' rubber on a cold fall night
Twisted metal and a ball of fire
Crawling from the wreckage, no sign of life...
The legend of Johnny Rumble, legend of Johnny Rumble

They never found the body or his guitar
Just a pile of charred metal that was his car
She was thrown clear and knocked out cold
Never saw a thing when that rod rolled

Chorus:

Please don't try, please don't try
That's what she said from the passenger side
Please don't try, please don't try
Smell of burnin' rubber on a cold fall night
Twisted metal and a ball of fire
Crawling from the wreckage, no sign of life...
The legend of Johnny Rumble, legend of Johnny Rumble
