The Letter That Johnny Walker Read - 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
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 back home
And how his drinking had ruined their lives
Then john he stared off into that street light
And a vision filled his poor poor heart with dread
It was him lying drunk there in that gutter
Clutching in his 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
Oh and john if you don't hurry back
I'll be gone
