Jerry Jeff Walker - Dear John Letter Lounge lyrics



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
