Johnson's Love Lyrics - Hillbilly Deluxe - 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 her 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 man 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 from love he's finally free

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...
