"Like Little Willie John" lyrics

There was nothing I could do

Where's Willie John?
Dead so long
Born to fall
Nothing at all
Who's gonna grieve when you're gone?
I once believed I wouldn't bleed

I seen all these good looking women
While I'm getting off the plane
Remember where my baby is
Start thinking 'bout my baby

All she ever knew was trouble
And for much I was to blame
But when I heard the news that night
I went down like a satellite
And when my world stood still that night
I dropped like a satellite

She never knew how much I loved her
She never knew how much I cared
I thought I'd get back to my special one
I thought I'd get on a lucky run
I said I'd get back to my special one
I said I'd get on a lucky run
Goddamn

Where's Willie John?
Dead so long
Born to fall
Like nothing at all
Now who's gonna grieve when you're gone?
I once believed I'd never bleed

But, Lord, I'm all alone tonight
Don't the sun love its satellite?
Lord, I'm all alone tonight
Don't the sun love its satellite?
I don't know

I seen all these good looking women
And remember where my baby is
Start thinking 'bout my baby
Remember where my baby is
Start me thinking 'bout my baby
Where's my baby?
