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
