The Red Devil Went

The Red Devil Bronco Johnson 1950-2007 Oh he blew into Toowoomba in 1972 The GTHO Ford was firing left black tracks on bitumen too Laid 200 feet of rubber they were still smoking in the street When the coppers came to look he’d been and gone a red streak The police they asked a local who he was and where he’d gone, Heard he’d be back in Brisbane now the low flying Ford flashed on .. Back in Brissy he then got another car and came to the 5ways at the Gabba hoorah. (Brisbane Cricket ground Gabba) A copper was a dancing cos he’d run over his right foot Dickie Daniels was on point duty had a blister black and beaut (Policeman Dickie was famous at the Gabba) Him and I were in an accident at Forest Glen 2 cars destroyed in 75 I had some few bones to mend The red Ford Escort was a flash, at 90 miles an hour Old Holden died on impact but we lived still had the power Mark and Wayne and I, we lived one time together Sometimes Mark or Wayne had our Jane depending on the weather Went to parents without parteners, others came also my brother Mark went home with one shiela and Wayne he caught another So Wayne was a telling me a Chris lived with his new girlfriend I said I’d win her sight unseen, it happened and then Mark went back to Jane I moved in with Christine Stayed together 22 years my path was surely green (lovely woman) You couldn’t track the Red Devil he’d learnt his craft too well Just down the road he would wander, maybe Jonny White for a spell Sometimes you would see him and sometimes gone and then Down the road again , down the road again , down the road again … Don Johnson……
