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 & lingering
Now Johnny he be having lots of women Oh The reason he 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 & who she is
And the memory is always getting clearer For that’s 30 years or more I’ve loved her so And 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 & lonely me She leaned over the bed & with her lips above my head She asked if I had seen her Johnny
Oh and I hide my disappointment Cause for years I had been hoping Oh yeah I had been hoping That when she came, she would come for me
I hide my disappointment Cause for years I had been hoping that when she came, she'd be coming just for me
