The Letter That Johnny Walker Read (Digitally Remastered 03) - Asleep At The Wheel
Johnny walker sat at a table in a bar
Minding his own affairs
Drinking his namesake over the rocks
He was drunk too drunk to care
When a girl from the bar walked up beside him
And this is what she said
She said a woman came by with a letter for you
And this is what the letter said
Dear john please johnny please come home
I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed
And john if you don't hurry back I'll be gone
Yes that's what the letter said
The letter that johnny walker read
Then john he got up from the table
Slowly so slowly he walked outside
He was thinking of his wife and little children back at home
And how his drinking had ruined their lives
Then john he stared off off into that street light
And a vision filled his poor poor heart with dread
For you was him
Lying drunk there in that gutter
Clutching in his little own hand
The letter that johnny walker read
And this is what it said
Dear john please johnny please come home
I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed
And john if you don't hurry back I'll be gone
Yes that's what the letter said
The letter that johnny walker read
Dear john please johnny please come home
I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed
