[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)
