I do not own The Outsiders. I don't own any of it! If I did, Johnny and Dally would still be alive. But I do NOT own it.

Johnny Cade

If someone was to come up to you…you just stay silent

Yet your hero dies young and violent

Your name is Johnny Cade

May your name never fade…

From our memories

You had dark hair and dark eyes

You'd never harm a fly

Yet you killed a boy

That switchblade wasn't a toy

You weren't fooling anyone when you said you'd use it

Quiet and young

Into the wind your life was flung

You got beat up once, and it never would happen again

In the vacant lot, you fought once more

And this was what fate had in store

What's more important…your life or Pony's?

You chose to save Pony, and that got you in this mess

We all know the rest

You and Pony must run away to a church on the Mountain of Jay

And there you stayed for a five day

Vacation, it was not

But it did end up hot

You got burned very badly

Then you died

Why'd you go and break Dally's heart?

Why did you make so many people cry?

And we lift our tears to the sky

We hope you're in heaven so we may see you again

Your name was Johnny Cade

You were loved, not by your parents

But by your fans

Rest in Peace Johnny
