An Ode to John Prine
The earth turned so the worm could eat
While a good man sat down to get off his feet
And they talked
Bout all the things they'd seen
He'd served during 'Nam
Healed real deep, loved everybody
Wasn't afraid to weep and cherished
Life as a human being
Saw scarecrows some Christmases
Good friends with lispsthsusses
And knew the magic of forgiveness
Ride legend ride
On your moon to evermore
Your songs are a treat
To us kids in your candy store
Ride legend ride
On your moon to evermore
We'll be down here
Listening for one more
This disease has brought us to our knees
Stopped too many good hearts even ways and means
Times are tough, calamity unforeseen
Realizing idyllic life takes knowing there's often strife
Things are rough gotta look beyond the plight
Need a Great Compromise 'tween rugged individualism and bein' American
Yeah it's time to be genuine
Ride legend ride
On your moon to evermore
Your songs are a gift
From a metaphor mentor
Ride legend ride
On your moon to evermore
We'll be down here
Listening for one more
While a good man sat down to get off his feet
And they talked
Bout all the things they'd seen
He'd served during 'Nam
Healed real deep, loved everybody
Wasn't afraid to weep and cherished
Life as a human being
Saw scarecrows some Christmases
Good friends with lispsthsusses
And knew the magic of forgiveness
Ride legend ride
On your moon to evermore
Your songs are a treat
To us kids in your candy store
Ride legend ride
On your moon to evermore
We'll be down here
Listening for one more
This disease has brought us to our knees
Stopped too many good hearts even ways and means
Times are tough, calamity unforeseen
Realizing idyllic life takes knowing there's often strife
Things are rough gotta look beyond the plight
Need a Great Compromise 'tween rugged individualism and bein' American
Yeah it's time to be genuine
Ride legend ride
On your moon to evermore
Your songs are a gift
From a metaphor mentor
Ride legend ride
On your moon to evermore
We'll be down here
Listening for one more
