The Jeff Warren Johnston Band performs their classic-sounding, country songs at popular music venues in Austin, Texas. The mission of the JWJ Band is to please listeners longing for that "real" country music sound in the vein of traditional artists such as Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe, Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Johnny Cash, while simultaneously paving new country roads. This particular song is inspired by 50's rock and roll oldies, rockabilly ballads from Texas songwriters like Buddy Holly and Roky Erickson, and from kings such as Elvis Presley, Richie Valens, and the Beatles.
The JWJ Band highly recommends: The Marshall Ford Swing Band, the Atomic Duo, the Love Leighs, Roky Erickson, 13th Floor Elevators, Jack Wilson, Raina Rose, Terri Hendrix, Corrina's Dreamland Band, Guy Forsyth, Milk Drive, Sick's Pack, The Belleville Outfit, Junior Brown, Dale Watson, Robert Earl Keen, and the Bad Livers
LYRICS:
I Won't Let You Go Now
Anytime you feel the need you can see
I'm still right here where you left me
I was foolish, but I know better than that now
I'll do anything to make it up to you somehow
I promise, promise, promise
I won't let you go now
I've been burned baby once or twice
I've learned enough to take my own advice
I was foolish, but I know better than that now
If you'll be mine again, I swear I'll never break this vow
I promise, promise, promise
I won't let you go now
You gave your heart to me, I failed to see
The forest or even a tree
I missed the boat you rowed, and the love that flowed
Will soon corrode
Since I've lost everything I could want
I've been thrown out of every roadhouse I haunt
I was foolish, but I know better than that now
You know I love you more than God's heart should allow
I promise, promise, promise
I won't let you go now
(C) 2009 Jeff Warren Johnston
