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
