Here you go, Hub...

Spanish Pipedream  (AKA Blow Up Your TV)
© John Prine

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

Chorus:
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

Repeat chorus:

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
And 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

[Midnight Rider]

And one more to sum it all up...

Please Don't Bury Me
©John Prine

Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

Chorus:
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose



Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

You can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to..Terry's an old redneck hippy.

Damn Ken!

You could have left the old part out!

Grandpa was a carpenter---built houses stores and banks..Chain smoked camel cigarettes and hammered nails in planks!

If you had extra tickets..I'd just about go with ya

Wish y'all had been with with us .. it was a blast.  We have only been home about 45 minutes ... a long performance.

and how could I not post the national song of Kentucky?

Paradise
©John Prine

When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.

Chorus:
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

Repeat Chorus:

Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.

Repeat Chorus:

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

Repeat Chorus:

Western Kentucky ... now that brings a tear to my eye.

That's one reason I love him so much.   

[harleydiva]

Damn Ken!

You could have left the old part out!

                              

Chip, you're sharp .. I didn't catch that .. yeah, Ken, you could have left out the "old" part. 

[HogBreath]

in Case you didn't notice..Wish I'd been there!

What's wrong with old?

Nothin' wrong with old...I'm proud to still be here.

John Prine was GREAT!!  He played 2 1/2 hours, did all the favorites, and the house was full and appreciated every minute of it.  I only had two margahooties, a Negra Modelo...before the concert....then two gin and tonics during.  So I was in good shape...

[HogBreath]

Whew John Prine came to Paducah, I got primed before the show. Started off on Vodka, started doing whiskey shots, did a couple of Yagelmeisters, and then back to Vodka.

John's opening song was really good. Then I started snoring.

Those shots will do it to you every time...I've never cared for the Yager...tastes like liquorice

  I forgot ... I'm the one who is "old".  I robbed the cradle.      I was just defending my man ... you can call me names, but don't you dare call him a name.      Bet you're skeered, aren't you?   

"Old" is good as long as you have the youthful attitude that we all do.     We plan to rock and roll forever.

But..If I called you old.Then I'd have Terry offering to dot my eye...

Terry mad at me...or

Diva mad at me..

Terry hitting me...or

Diva hitting me....

I'm no dummy...Terry you don't scare me..Diva mad at me would freak me out!

Don't be ... if I got mad at you then JD would come after me and that makes me
