Johnny Walker
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 at home
And how his drinking had ruined their lives
Then John, he stared off into that streetlight
And a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dread
For 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
