Where were you Mr. Johnson?

Well it started when I was a boy in beautiful Montana
I was farming Alpacas with my father and mama
When late one night I was climbing a tree
And out of nowhere a mountain lion sprung upon me
Well our dog, Lady Trixie, was nowhere to be seen
A Turkish Anatolian as tough as can be
Did I fight the lion off? Hell I sure did try
But I was just a boy, and that's the first time I died

Considering the seriousness of the crime son
You better not be lying or you'll do your time
So I ask again, where were you Mr. Johnson?

I bounced back as a man out in sunny Australia
I started me a business, I was building computers
I met my late wife and she brought forth a son
And just outside the hospital there was a hit and run
They ran me right over, they left me to die
Funny that the hospital was right in sight
And all through my life not one lie have I said
that was in 1982, the second time I was dead

You claimed you were climbing the peaks of the great white Rockies
A reborn warrior, you were fighting off grizzlies
You died a third time then you came back in Mali
Are you ready to testify all of this to the jury

I don't believe you Mr Johnson

I do believe you are guilty as charged.
