Why just before last Christmas My baby went away And I find it real surprising For myself to hear me say That everything is cool Everything's okay - John Prine

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. 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.

Sometimes my old heart is like a washing machine It bounces around 'til my Soul comes clean
And when I'm clean and hung out to dry
I'm gonna make you laugh until you cry

Surround me with your boundless love Confound me with your boundless love
I was drowning in the sea, Lost as I could be
When you found me With your boundless love
