Paroles Johnson's love Dwight Yoakam

Johnson's love

(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
