Song information

Lyrics

I keep the radio on most all night long listen to the songs they play
Sometimes I hum tap along with my thumb listen to the words they say
And I have to admit those yesterday hits take me back a year or two
I get those 1953 dear john honky tonk blues for you
I get those 1953 dear john honky tonk blues
Well I need help when I hear no help wanted
Remembering where we first heard lovesick blues
Old songs make me wonder what you're doing
I get those 1953 dear john honky tonk blues

Gonna play this song for rollin' john the wild side of life
It's rolly polly a golden oldie for carl and his brand new wife
Makes me feel sad but it ain't half bad rememberin' the things I'd do
I get those 1953 dear john honky tonk blues for you
I get those 1953 dear john honky tonk blues
Well I need help..
