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
