Dear John Joe Walsh

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
