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

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 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
