spanish pipedream - john prine lyrics

Loading...

she was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
and i was just a soldier on my way to montreal
well, she pressed her chest against me
about the time the juke box broke
yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
and these are the words she spoke

blow up your tv, throw away your paper
go to the country, build you a home
plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
try an’ find jesus on your own

well, i sat there at the table and i acted real naive
for i knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
well, she danced around the bar room
and she did the hoochy-coo
yeah, she sang her song all night long
tellin’ me what to do

blow up your tv, throw away your paper
go to the country, build you a home
plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
try an’ find jesus on your own

well, i was young and hungry
and about to leave that place
when just as i was leavin’
well she looked me in the face

i said, “you must know the answer”
she said, “no but i’ll give it a try”
and to this very day we’ve been livin’ our way
here is the reason why

we blew up our tv, threw away our paper
went to the country, built us a home
had a lot of children, fed ’em on peaches
they all found jesus on their own
