[Verse 1]

Hey, Johnny Walker, what you do in Lousiana?

Don't you call East Texas home?

Just a moondog chasin' a Greyhound station

While he's young enough to roam

I guess I like the songs you write

And the hurt you're gettin' into

Do some waitin' around, heard they're shakin' the ground

Over what you're goin' through


[Chorus]

Tell me what you're gonna do

When you up and run out of the rest of your highway tunes

You're gonna pack it up, gonna sell your stuff, stumble back alone

Hey, Johnny Walker, gonna miss you when you're gone


[Verse 2]

Hey, Johnny Walker, what you do in Chattanooga?

Heard you're playin' songs for free

Ain't talkеd in a while, I heard you changed your stylе

Started chasin' Hollywood dreams

Sure, you sound pretty, but I don't think anybody

Else is gonna listen to you

If you don't mind, I'm gonna send a little money

Get you by for a day or two


[Chorus]

Tell me what you're gonna do

When you up and run out of the rest of your highway tunes

You gonna pack it up, gonna sell your stuff, stumble back alone

Hey, Johnny Walker, know I'll miss you when you're gone


[Verse 3]

Hey, Johnny Walker, what you do in California?

Don't you know where you come from?

Went a real long way from where your family stays

But look at everything you've done

So don't mind me, I'm just callin' to see

That you're in from out the rain

And if you want me to, I'll be there in a few

I'm just a couple states away


[Chorus]

So tell me what you're gonna do

When you up and run out of the rest of your highway tunes

You're gonna pack it up, gonna sell your stuff 'cause you're better off alone

Hey, Johnny Walker, know I'll miss you when you're gone


[Outro]

Miss you when you're gone
