john prine - flashback blues (live) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
while window shopping through the past
i ran across a looking glass
reflecting moments remaining in a burned+out light
tragic magic, prayers of passion
stay the same through changing fashion
they freeze my mind like water on a winter’s night

[chorus]
i spent most of my youth out hobo cruising
and all i got for proof is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
so goodbye, nonbeliever
don’t you know that i hate to leave here?
so long, babe, i got the flashback blues

[verse 2]
photographs show the laughs
recorded in between the bad times
happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship
cloudy skies and dead fruit flies
waving goodbye with tears in my eyes
well, sure i made it, but you know it was a h+ll of a trip

[chorus]
i spent most of my youth out hobo cruising
and all i got for proof is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
so goodbye, nonbeliever
don’t you know that i hate to leave here?
so long, babe, i got the flashback blues
[outro]
so long, babe, i got the flashback blues
thank you
what are we doing here? what is it?
this is my band, this is my band here
