Johnny's back in town Johnny's not the same Mama says it's a miracle Somehow Johnny's changed The law's not after Johnny He's not wanted anymore Told a lawman yesterday His gun is now a sword This cowboy once an outlaw Has been changed
Shoot straight Johnny Ride the wind on high Shoot straight Johnny Reach for the sky Ride with the Son Stick to your guns They'll all know Where you're coming from Shoot straight Johnny
Johnny's not the same You can see it in his eyes He gives himself to others Instead of taking lives They're already telling stories How he laid down his gun But Johnny says it's Jesus The only real legend This cowboy once an outlaw Has been changed
Chorus
Whoa never be the same Whoa Johnny's been changed Whoa never be the same
