Lyrics

And I know your last words were don't call
But I'll be driving through a sorry night
And I hear you dear John through the hum of the highway
On the late shift on a long ride saying
John, dear John
You got a lot to learn about loving me
And I know you try
We just run out of time
There's rain cutting shadows through my headlights
On a stretch of road between dusk and dawn
In the first light I lose the running fight
And I stop to find a phone and just saying
John, dear John
You got a lot to learn about loving me
And I know you try
We just run out of time
We used up all our time
And I know what the silence on the wire is
In the waking hours of a nameless day
And I know you can't do your loving from a phone booth off the highway
Nine hundred miles or so away
But you don't fret about the bottom dropping out
It'll be alright, it'll turn around
You just dig in friend and you keep your powder dry
You keep your powder dry
John, dear John
You got a lot to learn about loving me
And I know you try
But you can't do it from the highway
