[Chorus]
I shot Johnny Scott, he's dead
All girls can live with a little bit less dread
I shot Johnny Scott in the head
I was just a teenage girl that you kept bringing to in your bed

[Refrain]
And I know it's brutal
And I know it seems so mean
But what's so cruel, is the way that you wait till we turn 19

[Verse 1]
I shot Johnny Scott, he's dead
So many years I play it in my head
I tracked him down, I connected the threads
And he fought and he wined and he cried and he begged and he pled

[Refrain]
And I know its brutal
And I know it seems so mean
But what's so cruel, if you find girls who won't ever know your scheme

[Outro]
I shot Johnny Scott, he's dead
And I shot Johnny Scott in the head
I shot Johnny Scott
