It started in the bright sunlight,
Then Johnny killed a boy that night.
In the church was where him and Ponyboy hid.
Saved children from a church fire,
Near forgotten were the things Johnny did,
But Johnny's life was on a wire.
Greasers won the rumble fair.
That's what Ponyboy had told,
But Johnny really didn't care.
His final words were to stay gold.
Dally heart by this was chilled,
And by the police he was killed.
At these losses Pony cried,
A hero and a hoodlum died
