Lyrics Dear John - Joe Walsh

Dear John

I started out to write you this letter
But it ended up another song
I am sorry that the news can’t be better, dear John
When we started out I thought we were different
We ended up exactly the same
So in order to protect the innocent
The names have been changed
I just got to get back to my music, to my music
And I know that we both promised forever
Forever didn’t last that long
Maybe someday I will write you a letter
Until then at least I wrote you this song, dear John
I just got to get back my music, and all the things that go along with the job
And lying in bed with the room spinning round
It’s the price that you pay when you’re on the way down
It’s the price that you pay
Sincerely yours…
