Well I guess its finally happened
G D
I'm tired of running 'round
I thank you for waitin' on me
A
while I was a paintin' the town

For years and years you stood by me

Tellin' me I'm ruinin' my life
I'm tired of all these honky tonks
A D
And that fly by night life

Well, tonight a bottle stands alone
G D
In the Dear John Letter Lounge
Waitin' on me for company,

But I won't be around

Find someone else to take my place

While I rejoin the wife
Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks

Takin' side bets on the game

I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends

In the Dear John Lounge downtown

And the steady passers by
I'm gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge
