Good Morning, John Songtext

von Waylon Jennings

Good morning, John:
Ain't it great to see your future shining brighter
Than the naked light of day

You made it, John:
But I confess there was a time we two have thought
That you might let it slip away

I love you, John:
In the cold and holy darkness
You were always shining brighter than a star

God bless you, John:
For the love and joy you've given
As the living inspiration that you are

You scared me, John:
'Cause you've crossed so many borders into danger
With the price upon your head

They got you, John:
And it hurts to see so many friends who ran
Along beside you laying dead

I know you, John:
There ain't nothing you can't handle now
'Cause there ain't nothing bigger than your heart

Keep shining, John:
For you owe it to the others as the dark
And holy wonder that you are

Hang in there, Joh:n
It's a rocky road to glory
But the straightest and the strongest will survive

Keep smiling, John:
We won't make it there tomorrow
But today let's say we're lucky we're alive

I see you, John:
For the best of good intentions
Have a way of getting scattered by the wind

I mean it, John:
You might lose your mind or memory
But you ain't gonna lose me as your friend
