[length: 03:49]
[00:08.86]Papa writes to Johnny
[00:11.86]But Johnny can’t come home
[00:17.05]Been too much time now
[00:20.36]Too many nights on the road
[00:24.32]Oh, too many nights on the road
[00:33.39]Blues on the table
[00:37.44]There’s blues every week
[00:42.35]Pourin’ out of the coffee pot
[00:45.14]With the first cup of the day
[00:49.68]Oh, the first cup of the day
[00:55.59]
[01:02.53]Now where are my friends
[01:06.72]When I’m taking the heat?
[01:11.45]Only help I got today
[01:14.31]Was from a stranger on the street
[01:19.78]Oh, the stranger on the street
[01:25.50]
[01:32.07]And why would you laugh
[01:36.32]If you wanted to cry?
[01:41.03]Why would you say things
[01:43.92]If you knew it was a lie?
[01:48.31]Oh, you knew it was a lie
[01:54.16]
[02:01.69]Dark was the night
[02:05.41]The cold was on the ground
[02:10.63]I couldn’t sleep
[02:13.57]So I got up and walked around
[02:18.25]Oh, got up and walked around
[02:27.22]And I walked into Dallas
[02:31.43]Crying all the way
[02:36.08]Running over in my mind
[02:39.19]Everything I meant to say
[02:44.10]Oh, everything I meant to say
[02:49.34]
[03:14.53]Papa writes to Johnny
[03:17.96]But Johnny can’t come home
[03:23.16]It’s been too much time now
[03:26.39]Too many nights on the road
[03:30.92]Oh, too many nights on the road
