Текст песне : Asleep At The Wheel. Other. The Letter That Johnny Walker Read.

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 in 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, he walked outside



He was thinking of his wife

And little children at home

And how his drinking

Had ruined their lives



Then John, he stared off

Into that street light

Staring into that street light

Clutching in his hand the letter

That Johnny Walker read



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

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
