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 fer 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 him just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
See his body died some years ago
Around here Mr Johnsons love lives on
Verse 2
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 solomn fact is
The man we'd known was all but gone
Chorus>>>
Verse 3
Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him
Late that night on Shelby road
About a mile from there they found him
It seems he died out in the snow
I hear'd the preacher at the service
Say from love he's finally free
But I say love it knows no season
It haunts the soul eternally
Chorus>>>
Yes his body died some years ago around here Mr. Johnsons love lives on...
