Waylon Jennings - Good Morning John Lyrics
Good morning, John:
Ain't it great to see your future shining brighter,
Than the naked light of day?
You made it, John:
But I confess there was a time we two have thought,
I love you, John:
In the cold and holy darkness,
You were always shining brighter than a star.
God bless you, John:
For the love and joy you've given,
As the living inspiration that you are.
You scared me, John:
'Cos you've crossed so many borders into danger,
With the price upon your head.
And it hurts to see so many friends who ran,
Along beside you laying dead.
I know you, John:
There ain't nothing you can't handle now,
'Cause there ain't nothing bigger than your heart.
Keep shining, John:
For you owe it to the others as the dark,
And holy wonder that you are.
Hang in there, John:
It's a rocky road to glory,
But the straightest and the strongest will survive.
Keep smiling, John:
We won't make it there tomorrow,
But today let's say we're lucky we're alive.
I see you, John:
For the best of good intentions,
Have a way of getting scattered by the wind.
I mean it, John:
You might lose your mind or memory,
But you ain't gonna lose me as your friend.

Jesus Christ!!
One of the greatest songs ever cherishing friendship in its purest sense.
What a beautiful song and good friends they were. God blessed them always for their beautiful songs they left us to hear.
This is the strait gospel.
Such a lovely song by Waylon .
Good morning, Waylon......
Very touchy, two great Country singers never forgotten. Thank you both for the music you gave us. Rest in peace.
RIP to the legends. Much love from California
Nobody can say good morning like Waylon...just discovered this song& can’t stop listening to it

GOOD MORNING JOHN I LOVE WAYLONJENNINGS AND JOHN 💸
The Highwayman Waylon Willie Johnny and Kris🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍
fyi they were roommates in early times in Nashville. i had the privilege of knowing them both.-I say roommate, they shared an apartment . Mr. Maskey can kiss my ass.
robert dant LIAR fuck off you did
look up david letterman-johnny cash&waylon jennings. u might learn something dumbass. be careful who you call a liar. Besides, you can't even put a sentence together. you might want to go to-Waylon Jennings on the johnny cash show.
The song, Good Morning John, really got to me. I keep losing my biker friends through them passing away and through misunderstandings. Although I try, I can't seem to find new ones. Anyways what a nice tribute to Johnny Cash!
Nothing quite like a Highwayman singing a Kristofferson tune dedicated to a Highwayman
One of the best
Thank You arcenstone!!!
Is this song on any of Waylon's albums?
Waylon at his best on this song. You can feel the bonds of friendship in Waylon's voice.
Bless you
the 25 people who disliked this song are pieces of stepped on back alley crack head disease infected pieces of shit die miserably
What beautiful song from Waylon .. Touchy . I loved Waylon and I loved Johnny Cash !!!!
R.I.P. Waylon and Johnny
Respect!
awesome and fantastic!!
Wow...great song!
cool :) :o) lol:-)
wwould love to get with kris and just listen to stories for hours they need a really good bio on all these american heros
one great man tribout to a nuther great man sadly gon but never frorgoten
John Cash and Waylon Jennings are a horrific loss. They were true friends and great and humble artists. R.I.P.
kris did a good job on this!
Waylon at one of his best. Missed those guys.Big part of my life.
What CD is this song on?
Que o nosso bom Deus dê a eles um bom lugar aí no céu
Written by kris kristofferson
Waylon, vai irmão de estrada, vai(!), pois somente aos inspirados reserva Deus as alturas.
Keep shinin' John
This is one of my favorite. Glad I saw them in concert few times. R.I.P. Waylon ang John.
Waylon, Kris, and John. Three men who through their love of LOVE , integrity, dignity and honesty became my heroes. How awesome is it that my heroes were actually good friends!? Country music and music period is just not the same with them gone....keep living Kris! ( and keep writing)
Tommy Petersen indeed, dont forget Willie. Those 4 are the best thing that happened to Country history
And what about willie
FORGOT ONE THERE DIDNT YOU?? WHAT ABOUT WILLIE? HE IS ONE OF THE 4 OUTLAWS/HIGHWAY MEN
@rowan ter steege Willie only brought 1 good song
@Donna Denson Willie sucks
E pensare che non sono piu fra noi, stanno deliziando l'aldila'. Sicuramente fra i più grandi della musica America.
this was khris' original song to johnny I'm pretty sure.
Rooster Cogwell Kris wrote and recorded it first but you're right !!!!
Rip Waylon and John
TWO good old boys miss ya both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea, :D thanks`
R I P john this song is for you
Friends! Wonderful stuff!
Nice tune...You are right Diane, the country music of today is pitiful and it will never be the way it used to be again..
ya I feel the same way I love classic country like Waylon, Johnny, Hank Sr., Merle Haggard the rest are all a country boy wanna be and you are hearing this from a 12 year old u is stuck in todays crappy music
Great comment, Danielle. Music reflects what's going on around it. Thankfully lines like "Wishing Lord that I was stoned"/ "Lay your warm and tender body next to mine"/"Laying soft against my skin, like the shadows on the wall" (all from Kristofferson btw, but my point can be applied to so many other writers) are no longer considered too extreme or too avant-garde. They were in the early 1970's. By the standard of today's lyrics these lines are totally tame. Don't get me wrong they're great lines (I try not to quote bad ones) for both the time they were written and still for today. But they have to be tempered with what's actually around us these days.
Kris kristofferson's song performed by Waylon, a masterpiece!
Prachtig.....................
love that pic at 1;50
Beautiful Performance, Thank You.
Well performed, Kris Kristofferson's song is unforgetable
Nádherná pieseň, tak ako všetky od tohto úžasného speváka.
DOS GRANDES.
Great!!
Me too IrishMedia.. I hadn't listened to him for a while and had forgotten how great his voice is...
Man. Such a great song. Listening to more and more Jennings these days. Loving it in 2014 still. Awesome music
I agree, how sad that George and Waylon and Johnny are all gone.. especially the latter 2 who weren't that old.... but we still have their music
Glen pornt on
All my life I idolized three men... Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and George Jones.
Those men to me were larger than life. I seen each one in concert a ton of times, even got to hang out with Jones on several occasions. Then in 2002 the unthinkable happened... I woke up one day to learn Waylon had passed away. I was devastated along with the rest of the world. Then in 03 we lost Johnny Cash. Now this year George Jones.
There is NOTHING quite as sad as watching your hero's die.
I don't want to start anything, but I respectfully disagree. Waylon's voice is amazing--I can't even describe the sense of loss I feel when I hear it now. But I feel that Kris puts more feeling into it.
waylon is the best at this song
i love you john
two legends R.I.P
jak nie jak tak ;)
song written by kris kritofferson he couldn't sing to him
man thing I suppose Waylon had no hang ups though
Waylon is my man
Piękne podziękowanie.
I saw Johnny in heaven where he's still a celebrity.
Love them both but sorry to say have never heard this song before. Beautiful words of friendship and love from one legend to another. Thank you so much for this gift of a song and video.
This is the most amazing song to me. So simple and sweet. :)
No more men like them!
Country Music immortal song !!!
How do you copy this video
Well good morning Waylon, thank you.
@alistair blair so true I don't think it will ever be as good again. god bless them.
to everyone who is blessed enough to understand the love that is expressed when a artist can be man enough to create lyrics that show and share the expression of love and respect for another artist by creating art and releasing it to the public for their enjoyment will go down in infamy, thank you waylon
The day country music died is when Waylon and Johnny died. :'(
well said
2 wankers !
2 people need an ass whippen'
Great tribute !
i miss u john
I too thought that Kris wrote this one
Yes, on his latest record. An old man whispering: Search for "Good-Morning-John" Kris, at Amazon
2002, 2003 :(
Awesome!!!
TY SO MUCH BOB--THIS SONG IS HITTING ME--WAYLON SURE DID A GREAT JOB WITH THIS ONE--BOB I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE-IT IS AIMED AT ME--I HAVE THAT FEELING---TY SO MUCH BOB-I REALLY WILL PLAY THIS ONE TO JEANNINE--SHE WILL LOVE IT--LIL JOHN
