Sleepin'

(专辑： Last Time I Saw Him - 1973)

Johnny's been running hard all his life
'Cause life never treated him right
Well he ain't running now
You see his eyes are closed
They can't hurt him tonight

Sleeping, he's sleeping
Just let him be for a while
Don't wake him, don't take him
To where the people don't smile

Sleeping, my man is sleeping nice now
Please let him stay here with me
I promise, I'll keep him
At home, where he's supposed to be

He's been out there
In the streets you know
And struggling, scuffling
Trying to survive
Out there in a richman's world
And now you say my Johnny is not alive
But you're wrong, can't you see

Sleeping, he's just sleeping mister
He doesn't rest very much
He lives hard and he gives hard
And I'll just die for his touch

Sleeping, he's sleeping
Without a care to his name
He's peaceful
He's quiet
He's tired of running his game

He's been out there
In the streets you know
With all the pain and all the suffering
Out there
Where you fight like hell
He never learned a fix don't fix a thing
Don't touch him

Johnny put too much in his vanes
And now you're trying to tell me he's gone
I don't believe you
I'm just gonna sit here
And rock him in my arms

Sleeping, he's sleeping
He doesn't rest very much
You see he lives hard and gives hard
