John Prine

Clocks & Spoons

Clocks and spoons and empty rooms
Its raining out tonight
What a way to end a day
By turnin out the light
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
Im sending most of me to sunny country side
Runnin through sky of blue rollin in the sun
Every day has a way of overflowing one
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
Im keeping most of me in sunny country side
Dont know how I did that now wonder where its gone
Must have spent the way I went waitin for the dawn
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
Im screaming
Take me back to sunny country side

Crooked Piece Of Time

Things got rough
Things got tough
Things got harder than hard
We were just trying to make a livin
In our back yard
We were born too late died to soon
Anxietys a terrible crime
If you dont come now dont come at all
cause its a crooked piece of time.
Its a crooked piece of time that we live in
A crooked piece of time
All in all and all in all
Its a crooked piece of time.
Yesterday morning an ill wind came
Blew your picture
Right out of the picture frame
Even blew the candle out
From underneath the flame
Yesterday morning an ill wind came.

Clocks And Spoons

Clocks and spoons
And empty rooms
It's raining out tonight
What a way to end a day
By turnin' out the light
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I'm sending
Most of me to sunny country side
Runnin' through
Sky of blue
Rollin' in the sun
Every day
Has a way
Of overflowing one
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I'm keeping
Most of me in sunny country side
Don't know how
I did that now
Wonder where it's gone

Killing The Blues

Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:

Sour Grapes

I dont care if the sun dont shine
But it better or people will wonder
And I couldnt care less if it never stopped rainin
cept the kids are afraid of the thunder
Chorus:
Say sour grapes
You can laugh and stare
Say sour grapes
But I dont care
I couldnt care less if I didnt have a friend
cept people would say I was crazy
And I wouldnt work cause I dont need money
But the same folks would say I was lazy
Repeat chorus
I couldnt care less if she never come back
I was gonna leave her anyway
And all the good times that we shared
Dont mean a thing to day
Repeat chorus

Baby Ruth

Well its sure good to see you
But my how youve changed
Since the last time I saw you
Girl youve been rearranged
I always said your people
Were just like my kin
When I was down and out
They would always take me in
Chorus:
Oh I love you my baby ruth
Never lie to you
I only tell the truth
Oh I love you since you were a child
Every time I see you girl
You always raise a smile
I was living out on the highway
You didnt turn me out
I lived in your closet
And you fed me by mouth
My boots were my pillow

Nine Pound Hammer

This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Buddy for my size
Buddy for my size
So Im going on the mountain
Just to see my baby
And I aint coming back
No I aint coming back
Chorus:
Roll on buddy
Dont you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll
When the wheels wont go
Roll on buddy
Pull you load of coal
Tell me how can I pull
When the wheels wont roll
Its a long way to harlan
Its a long way to hazard
Just to get a little brew

Sleepy Eyed Boy

Where are the boot straps
To lift myself up?
Where is the well
Where I once filled my cup?
Where does this sorrow
All turn into joy?
And where oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?
Where is my true love
When the wind starts to moan?
Is she out in the wild,
Is she there all alone?
Have I cast her aside
Like an unwanted toy?
Tell me where oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?
Hes goin down the backroads
In a cold pourin rain
Hes a waitin for a postcard
In the south coast of spain
Postmarked from a sweetheart
Back in ol illinois

Love Is On A Roll

I cant work late
Although I need the money
Gotta get home to my lovin honey
Shell be there waitin
Waitin impatiently
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Ah, love is on a roll
Ah, love is on a good roll
Im a songwriter
A professional dreamer
Mostly a singer but sometimes a screamer
I should know
If anybody knows at all
When love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
So I gotta go. I gotta get home early
Be with my woman soft and curvy
Makes me feel like a king and not a regular joe
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll

The Frying Pan

I come home from work this evening
There was a note in the frying pan
It said fix your own supper babe
I run off with the fuller brush man
Chorus:
And I miss the way she used to yell at me
The way she used to cuss and moan
And if I ever go out and get married again
Ill never leave my wife at home
Sat down at the table
Screamed, and I hollered and cried
And I commenced a carryin on
Till I almost lost my mind
Repeat chorus
If I ever see another salesman
Come a knockin at my door
Im gonna pick up a rock and hit him on the head
And knock him down on the floor
Repeat chorus
