Well I guess it finally happened
|
I'm tired of running 'round
|
I thank you for waitin' on me
|
While I was paintin' the town
|
For years and years you stood by me
|
Tellin' me I'm ruinin' my life
|
I'm tired of all these honky tonks
|
And that fly by night life
|
|
Wel, tonight a bottle stands alone
|
In 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:
|
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now
|
Probably wonderin' where I am
|
Zekey'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
|
|
|
I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends
|
In the Dear John Lounge downtown
|
I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox
|
Singin' songs round after round
|
I'm gonna miss the face of strangers
|
And the steady passers by
|
I'm agonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge
|
And that fly by night life
|
|
Chorus:
|
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now
|
Probably wonderin' where I am
|
And Zekey's sharkin' pool, for five a throw
|
And old Lucy brings the drinks
|
Takes a side bet on the game
|
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go
|
