The Letter That Johnny Walker Read Lyrics - Havin' A Party: Live - 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 see folks it 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 

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 

Yes, that's what the letter said 

The letter that Johnny Walker read 

Yes, that's what the letter said 

The letter that Johnny Walker read
