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
