gillian welch - papa writes to johnny lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
papa writes to johnny
but johnny can’t come home
it’s been too much time now
too many nights on the road
oh, too many nights on the road

[verse 1]
blues on the table
there’s blues every week
pourin’ out of the coffee pot
with the first cup of the day
oh, the first cup of the day

[verse 2]
now where are my friends
when i’m takin’ the heat?
only help i got today
was from a stranger on the street
oh, the stranger on the street

[verse 3]
and why would you laugh
if you wanted to cry?
why would you say things
if you knew it was a lie?
oh, you knew it was a lie
[verse 4]
dark was the night
the cold was on the ground
i couldn’t sleep
so i got up and walked around
oh, got up and walked around

[verse 5]
and i walked into dallas
crying all the way
running over in my mind
everything i meant to say
oh, everything i meant to say

[chorus]
papa writes to johnny
but johnny can’t come home
it’s been too much time now
too many nights on the road
oh, too many nights on the road
