" "
Kiss a little baby Give the world a smile If you take an inch
Give 'em back a mile
Cause if you lie like a rug
And you don't give a damn
You're never gonna be
As happy as a clam
So I'm sitting in a hotel
Trying to write a song
My head is just as empty As the day is long.

Additional quotes by John Prine

If by chance I should find myself at risk of falling from this jagged cliff
I look below, and I look above
I'm surrounded by your boundless love

You're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq]]
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

I wish you love - and happiness I guess I wish - you all the best
I wish you don't - do like I do
And never fall in love with someone like you
Cause if you fell - just like I did
You'd probably walk around the block like a little kid
But kids don't know - they can only guess...
