Johnson`s Love Lyrics

Johnson`s Love lyrics

(Dwight Yoakam)

 

 She had left him lost and broken like no other had before

 And now his heart was just a token of the pain it had endured

 And his memories were clouded with all the hurtful things she'd said

 Yes, for all intent and purpose he might just as well been dead

 

 Chorus:

 And some people claim they still hear him call he name

 Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain

 Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn

 See, his body died some years ago

 but around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on

 

 He seemed far away and distant with that cold and silent stare

 Never moving, never speaking and just barely breathing air

 No one really knew her reason and who can judge her right or wrong

 The only true and solemn fact is, the main we'd known was all but gone

 

 Chorus:

 And some people claim they still hear him call he name

 Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain

 Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn

 See, his body died some years ago

 but around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on

 

 Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him late that night on Shelby Road

 About a mile from there they found him it seems he'd died out in the snow

 I hear'd the preacher at the service say fro love he's finally free

 but I say love, it knows no season it haunts the soul eternally

 

 Chorus:

 And some people claim they still hear him call he name

 Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain

 Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn

 Yeah, his body died some years ago

 but around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on

 Yes, his body died some years ago

 but around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on
