RubyJoyful - How My Lil’ Punk Girl Fell In Love With John Prine

8. How My Lil’ Punk Girl Fell In Love With John Prine (5:31)

Well I met her outside of old Avery Hall
She was tired and drunk and that was not all
The music was loud and the kids they were young
After all these long years she wasn’t havin’ no fun

Her hair it was blue and her tongue it was pierced
Her soul was so gentle but her look was so fierce
She fell in my arms and I sang her some lines
That’s how my lil’ punk girl fell in love with John Prine

John Prine, John Prine, well do you know his name
Can you whistle a tune about heartache and trains
About Elvis and kitchens I sang her those lines
That’s how my lil’ punk girl fell in love with John Prine

Well she partied her way through many hard years
Sid Vicious had left her with two bloody ears
I told her I loved her and she walked away
Turns out she can’t hear a damn thing I say

John Prine, John Prine, well do you know his name
Can you whistle a tune about heartache and trains
About Elvis and kitchens, I sang her those lines
That’s how my lil’ punk girl fell in love with John Prine

Well now we both stand outside Avery Hall
Been dancin’ all night at the Red Lady Ball
The fiddle it wailed through my little girl’s heart
Holdin’ hands and promisin’ never to part

So at night I pick up my ol’ Martin guitar
Sing her songs about Abbey and angels and stars
She looks at me deep with those glitter-rimmed eyes
Makes love to her singer, just a regular guy

John Prine, John Prine, well do you know his name
Can you whistle a tune about heartache and trains
About Elvis and kitchens, I sang her those lines
That’s how my lil’ punk girl fell in love with John Prine
That’s how my li’l’ punk girl fell in love with John Prine

John Prine, John Prine, John Prine all the time
All she ever wants to listen to is that goddamn John Prine
