Papa
écrit
à
Johnny,
mais

ne
peut
pas
rentrer
à

Been

every
week.
Le
blues
sur
la
table,
il

Pouring

de
la

where
are
my
friend's
when
I'm
taking
the
heat.
Maintenant,
où
sont
mes
amis
quand
je
prends
la
chaleur.
Only
help
I
got
today,
was
from
a
stranger
on
the
street.
La
seule
aide
que
j'ai
eue
aujourd'hui,
c'est
celle
d'un
inconnu
dans
la
rue.
Oh,
a
stranger
on
the
street.
Oh,
un
inconnu
dans
la

And
why
would
you
laugh,
if
you
wanted
to
cry.
Et
pourquoi
rirais-tu
si
tu
voulais
pleurer.
And
why
would
you
say
things
if
you
knew
it
was
a
lie.
Et
pourquoi
dirais-tu
des
choses
si
tu
savais
que
c'était
un
mensonge.
Oh,
you
knew
it
was
a
lie.
Oh,
tu
savais
que
c'était
un
mensonge.
Dark
was
the
night,
cold
was
the
ground.
La
nuit
était
sombre,
le
sol
était
froid.
I
couldn't
sleep,
so
I
got
up
and
walked
around.
Je
n'arrivais
pas
à
dormir,
alors
je
me
suis
levé
et
j'ai
marché.
Oh,
i
got
up
and
walked
around.
Oh,
je
me
suis
levé
et
j'ai
marché.
And
I
walked
into
Dallas,
crying
all
the
way.
Et
j'ai
marché
jusqu'à
Dallas,
en
pleurant
tout
le
chemin.
Running
over
in
my
mind,
everything
I
meant
to
say.
Tout
ce
que
je
voulais
dire
me
revenait
en
tête.
Oh,
everything
i
meant
to
say.
Oh,
tout
ce
que
je
voulais
dire.
Papa
writes
to
Johnny,
but
Johnny
can't
come
home.
Papa
écrit
à
Johnny,
mais
Johnny
ne
peut
pas
rentrer
à
la
maison.
Been

time
now,

moany
night's
on
the
road.
Il
y
a
eu
trop
de
temps
maintenant,
trop
de
nuits
sur
la
route.
