JESUS, JOHNNY,
HANK, & WAYLON

written by john kringstad

had a dream last night

I passed away

Jesus met me at those pearly gates

left me with my family

Lord, it felt so good

like I always believed it would

then across the distance

I could hear a song

voices singing so loud, so clear, so strong

went on over and to my surprise

I could not believe my eyes

​

there was Jesus, Johnny, Hank, & Waylon

they were singing 'I Saw the Light'

Jesus, Johnny, Hank, & Waylon

in a honky tonk choir on high

​

as I got close

I heard Hank say

"come on in, son. we know you love to play"

Jesus handed me a white guitar

said in his Father's eyes, everyone's a star

Johnny said "now boys, let's do that one again

one more time, this time with our new friend"

Waylon kicked it off

we all joined in

what a way for my forever to begin

​

me and Jesus, Johnny, Hank, & Waylon

yeah we were singing 'I Saw the Light'

Jesus, Johnny, Hank, & Waylon

in a honky tonk choir on high

​

they told me Haggard and George Jones

______

they all come sit in from time to time

doing all those good old songs

everybody sings along

but even the angels stop to listen to Patsy Cline

​

and it was Jesus, Johnny, Hank, & Waylon

they were singing 'I Saw the Light', I saw the light

Jesus, Johnny, Hank, & Waylon

in a honky tonk choir on high

in a honky tonk choir on high
