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
