Hey, if I could I'd sit you down
Buy you a drink and ask you how
You got a cowboy ridin'
To slow on down and walk the line and
I'd wanna hear it from the start
How many times did he break your heart?
From what I'm readin'
Why didn't you leave him

When he came home late on booze and pills
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
What made you wanna make it work?
Did you always know he'd come around
Change his ways and settle down?
Did your friends call you crazy too?
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, why Johnny?

Did you know deep down inside your bones
He'd be yours and yours alone?
Or were you just hoping
And how did you keep hoping?
I think I've got a Johnny of my own
But will he change? Hell if I know
Yes, I'm just hopin'
But how do I keep hopin'
