Lyrics

John Prine said He wrote his songs with his smile, feels like being afraid for a while, While the thunder rolls in. And Iโ€™ve been listening, Watching that dog under the shed. Saw the terror in his eyes as the light filled up the skies, And then I watched, it fled, with the laughter of a friend. Prayer works quick, It does the trick. Me, I need a song, Do you need one too? Could be good for you, Just to say the truth, When no oneโ€™s there to listen. John Prine said, He wrote his songs with his smile, Feels like being afraid for a while, While the thunder rolls in. I wonโ€™t paint like Monet But I will paint again someday, Where that laughterโ€™s been, & how it helped me when, Nothing else, quite did.
