Sleepin' |
| Johnny’s been runnin' hard all his life |
| 'Cause life never treated him right |
| Well he ain’t running now |
| You see his eyes are closed |
| They can’t hurt him tonight |
| Sleepin', he’s sleepin' |
| Just let him be for a while |
| Don’t wake him, don’t take him |
| To where the people don’t smile |
| Sleepin', my man is sleepin' nice now |
| Please let him stay here with me |
| I promise, I’ll keep him |
| At home, where he’s supposed to be |
| He’s been out there |
| In the streets you know |
| And strugglin', scufflin' |
| Trying to survive |
| Out there in a richman’s world |
| And now you say my Johnny is not alive |
| But you’re wrong, can’t you see |
| Sleepin', he’s just sleepin' mister |
| He doesn’t rest very much |
| He lives hard and he gives hard |
| And I’ll just die for his touch |
| Sleepin', he’s sleepin' |
| Without a care to his name |
| He’s peaceful |
| He’s quiet |
| He’s tired of runnin' his game |
| He’s been out there |
| In the streets you know |
| With all the pain and all the suffering |
| Out there |
| Where you fight like hell |
| He never learned a fix don’t fix a thing |
| Don’t touch him |
| Johnny put too much in his vanes |
| And now you’re trying to tell me he’s gone |
| I don’t believe you |
| I’m just gonna sit here |
| And rock him in my arms |
| Sleepin', he’s sleepin' |
| He doesn’t rest very much |
| You see he lives hard and gives hard |
