Lyrics Asleep At The Wheel - The Letter That Johnny Walker Read

Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar, minding his own affairs
Drinking his namesake's gold on the rocks, getting drunk, too
drunk to care
When a girl in the bar walked up his side and this is what she
said
She said: "A woman came by and left 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 staggered off into the streetlight
And a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dread
For it was him lying drunk there in the 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...
