Asleep At The Wheel - Letter, The (That Johnny Walker Read) Lyrics
Johnny Walker sat at a table in a barMinding his own affairsDrinking his namesake over the rocksHe was drunk, too drunk to careWhen a girl from the bar walked up beside himAnd this is what she saidShe said, a woman came by with a letter for youAnd this is what the letter saidDear John, please, Johnny, please come homeI need your love and the kids, they gotta be fedAnd John, if you don't hurry back I'll be goneYes, that's what the letter saidThe letter that Johnny Walker readThen John, he got up from the tableSlowly, so slowly he walked outsideHe was thinking of his wife and little children back at homeAnd how his drinking had ruined their livesThen John, he stared off, off into that street lightAnd a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dreadFor you see folks it was him lying drunk there in that gutterClutching in his little own hand, the letter that Johnny Walker readAnd this is what it saidDear John, please, Johnny, please come homeI need your love and the kids, they gotta be fedAnd John, if you don't hurry back I'll be goneYes, that's what the letter saidThe letter that Johnny Walker readDear John, please, Johnny, please come homeI need your love and the kids, they gotta be fedAnd John, if you don't hurry back I'll be goneYes, that's what the letter saidThe letter that Johnny Walker readYes, that's what the letter saidThe letter that Johnny Walker readYes, that's what the letter saidThe letter that Johnny Walker read
