Lyrics

[Verse 1] Johnny Guitar Watson starin' at me Ridin' on three wheels, a woman on his knee With a leg under the red dress I wish I could see Further North the warmth of lovin' lingerin' Now Johnny, he be havin' lots of women Oh, the reason he be smilin' known to him [Verse 2] On the left the girl in red so innocent Never sheds her clothes even when she goes to bed Yeah, the type of girl responsible for original sin Can't help but wonder where and who she is Oh, and the memory's always gettin' clearer First thirty years and more I've loved her so But now I need to know why she's with him [Chorus 1] And I sleep with the light on In case she comes And I sleep with the light on In case she comes [Verse 3] Recently as I was waitin' on a dream She came to visit lost and lonely me Oh, she leaned over the bed and with the lips above my head She asked if I had seen her Johnny Oh, and I hide my disappointment 'Cause for years I have been hopin', oh yeah, I have been hopin' That when she came that she would come for me Hey, hey [Chorus 2] I'll hide my disappointment 'cause for years I have been hopin' That when she came she'd be comin' just for me I'll hide my disappointment 'cause for years I have been hopin' That when she came she'd be comin' just for me [Outro] Ah yeah, oh yeah (Hoo)
