Dear John Letter Lounge — текст песни (Jerry Jeff Walker)

Jerry Jeff Walker

Well I think it finally happened
I`m tired of running `round

I thank you for waitin` on me
While I was paintin` up the town
For years and years you stood by me
While I ruined my life
I`m tired of all these honky tonks
And that fly by night life

Chorus:
Old Ira`s tendin` bar right now
Probably wonderin` where I am
Ziggy`s sharkin` pool, for five a throw
And Old Lucy Fay Lorraine`s
Takin` side bets on the game
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin` he`s got to go

Tonight a bottle stands alone
At the Dear John Letter Lounge
Waitin` on me for company,
But I won`t be around
Find someone else to take my place
While I rejoin my wife
`Cause I`m tired of all these Honky Tonks
And that fly by night life

Chorus

I`m gonna miss old Jim and all my friends
At the Dear John Lounge downtown
I`m gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox
Playin` songs round after round
I`m gonna miss the face of strangers
And the steady passers by
Gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge
And that fly by night life
