Johnny Guitar Watson Staring at me
Riding on 3 Wheels, a woman on his knee
With a leg under a red dress i wish i could see
further north a warmth alive and lingering.
Now Johnny he be having lots of women
the reason e be smiling known to him
On the left the girl in red so innocent
never sheds her clothes even when she goes to bed
The type of girl responsible foriginal sin
can't help but wonder where and who she is
Oh and the memory's always getting clearer
For that's 30 years or more I've loved her so
an how i need to know why she's with him
and I sleep with the light on in case she comes
and I sleep with the light on in case she...
Recently as I was waiting on a dream
she came to visit lost and lonely me
She leaned over the bed and with her lips above my head
she asked if I had seen her Johnny
Oh and I hide my disappointment cause for years I have been hoping
oh yeah I have been hoping that when she came that she would come for me
Hey... hey...
I'll hide my disappointment cause for years I have been hoping
that when she came she'd be coming just for me...
I'll hide my disappointment cause for years I have been hoping
that when she came she'd be coming just for me...ah yeah!
Aw yeah!
Aw yeah!
Hoo...
