This song references an ancient English and Scottish folk song called John Barleycorn. John personifies barley and the alcoholic drinks made from it (beer and whiskey). He suffers as he is mistreated and killed every year as barley is harvested, only to be reborn each time as new barley is grown.

Johnny Good Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If my lantern's not too bright
If my pistol's not polished for the fight
And if there's something that ain't right
I'll be here forever just for tonight
[Verse 2]
This is just a drinking song
Something just for me to sing along
And if the proof is very strong
This is where I belong
[Chorus]
Johnny was a good man
They put him in the corn
You'd think at least we would stand
When Johnny gets reborn
Johnny was a good man
We put him in the corn
You'd think at least we would stand
When Johnny gets reborn
Johnny was a good man
We put him in the corn
You'd think at least we would stand
When Johnny gets reborn
Johnny was a good man
We put him in the corn
You'd think at least we would stand
When Johnny gets reborn
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Johnny was a good man
We put him in the corn
Johnny was a good man
