Everybody was talking to me
Like I was a child
In their words, I could hear them saying
It's just a matter of time
Anyway it's a long, long race been run

While you're foolin' around
Anyway, I can hold my own tonight
I admit I was wrong and you where right

Dear John, I've broken away

Dear John, goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard, she said
Dear John, I've broken away

Dear John, goodbye she said

Dear John, I've broken away

Everybody was talking to me

In their words, I could hear them saying

Anyway it's a long, long race been run
Anyway it's a sad, sad song been sung

Dear John, goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard, she said
Dear John, I've broken away

Dear John, goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard, she said
Dear John, I've broken away

Dear John, goodbye she said
Sometimes
