[Verse 1]
AmCGAmCG
I just did a show in Tulsa, I was headin back home
AmCG
I was going back to Texas
Am
I'd been away too long
AmCGAmCG
Those honky-tonks and one night stands and picking with a five piece band
AmCG
Don't take the place of that woman
Am
That promised me her hand
[Verse 2]
AmCGAmCG
When I crossed that old red river near the welcome to Texas sign
AmCGAm
I heard a tire blow and then the wheel begin to whine
AmCGAmC
I stepped out of that bluebird with not a soul in sight
GAmCGAm
Just a cry from that Whipporwill piercing that moon that night
[Verse 3]
AmCGAmCG
Then out of nowhere he stepped into sight
AmCGAm
A black bearded stranger in the Texas moonlight
AmCGAmCG
A chill ran down my spine as a ghost band begin to play
AmCGAm
And in that old familiar half time beat I thought I heard him say
[Chorus]
FE7
Tell Kris and Willie Johnny's doing OK......
CAm
Cause he crossed that muddy river on that September day
FE7
Highway men and outlaws they all need to know......
N.C.
So tell Kris and Willie Johnny's doing OK
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
AmCGAmCG
Then he started to walk away but stopped and turned around again,
AmCGAm
his eyes lit up and he began to smile then he shot me a grin
AmCGAmCG
Last time I saw old Johnny he had June there by the hand,
AmCGAm
he was singing, laughing, dancing and praying in the promised land
[Chorus]
FE7
Tell Kris and Willie Johnny's doing OK......
CAm
Cause he crossed that muddy river on that September day
FE7
Highway men and outlaws they all need to know......
N.C.
So tell Kris and Willie Johnny's doing OK
[Instrumental]
AmCGAmCGAmCGAm
[Chorus]
FE7
Tell Kris and Willie Johnny's doing OK......
CAm
Cause he crossed that muddy river on that September day
FE7
Highway men and outlaws they all need to know......
N.C.
So tell Kris and Willie Johnny's doing OK
