Story of my life (listen) (Soooooo Real John Prine) Buy his Album |
|
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 04:32 AM by Billy_Pilgrim
(Edited to remove mp3) Sorry you missed it.
She don't like her eggs all runny She thinks crossin' her legs is funny She looks down her nose at money She gets it on like the Easter Bunny She's my baby I'm her honey I'm never gonna let her go
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies He ain't too sharp but he gets things done Drinks his beer like it's oxygen He's my baby And I'm his honey Never gonna let him go
In spite of ourselves We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow Against all odds Honey, we're the big door prize We're gonna spite our noses Right off of our faces There won't be nothin' but big old hearts Dancin' in our eyes.
She thinks all my jokes are corny Convict movies make her horny She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs She takes a lickin' And keeps on tickin' I'm never gonna let her go.
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey He's a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon He's my baby I don't mean maybe Never gonna let him go
In spite of ourselves We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow Against all odds Honey, we're the big door prize We're gonna spite our noses Right off of our faces There won't be nothin' but big old hearts Dancin' in our eyes. There won't be nothin' but big old hearts Dancin' in our eyes.

3. Iris Dement is his female foil on that song... |
|
Her voice is a bit of an acquired taste but it works on that song. I'll have to dust off that album as I haven't listened to it in a while...
-SM, John Prine fan

I like "We're not the jet set" song from this album also with Iris. We had this song played during our wedding reception. (it helps that I made the CD's for said reception)
By a fountain back in Rome I fell in love with you In a small cafe in Athens You said you loved me too And it was April in Paris when I first held you close to me Rome, Georgia, Athens, Texas And Paris, Tennessee
No, we're not the jet set We're the old Chevro-let set There's no Riviera In Festus, Missouri And you won't find Onassis In Mullinville, Kansas No, we're not the jet set We're the old Chevro-let set But ain't we got love
No, We're not the jet set We're the old Chevro-let set Our steak and martinis Is draft beer with weenies Our Bach and Tchaikovsky Is Haggard and Husky No, we're not the jet set We're the old Chevro-let set But ain't we got love
No, We're not the jet set We're the old Chevro-let set The Prine and DeMent set Ain't the flaming suzette set Our Bach and Tchaikovsky Is Haggard and Husky We're the old Chevro-let set But ain't we got love

Prine just gets better n' better. He asked some of his favorite women singers to duet with him. This one also has Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Trisha Yearwood & Patty Loveless. Yeah, it's a keeper.
