Dear John Lyrics

I started out to write you this letter,
But it ended up another song.
I am sorry that the news can't be better, dear John.
When we started out I thought we were different,
We ended up exactly the same.
So in order to protect the innocent,
The names have been changed.
I just got to get back to my music, to my music.
And I know that we both promised forever,
Forever didn't last that long.
Maybe someday I will write you a letter,
Until then at least I wrote you this song, dear John.
I just got to get back my music, and all the things that go along with the job.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e86799-joe_walsh~dear_john_lyrics.html ]
And lying in bed with the room spinning round,
It's the price that you pay when you're on the way down,
It's the price that you pay.
Sincerely yours...
