john prine - spanish pipedream (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
she was a level+headed dancer on the road to alcohol
and i was just a soldier on my way to montreal
well, she pressed her chest against me
about the time the jukebox broke
yeah, she give me a peck on the back of the neck
and these are the words she spoke

[chorus]
blow up your tv, throw away your paper
go to the country, build you a home
plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
try and find jesus on your own

[verse 2]
well, i sat there at the table and i acted real naïve
for i knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
well, she danced around the bar room
and she did the hoochie+coo
yeah, she sang her song all night long, telling me what to do

[chorus]
blow up your tv, throw away your paper
go to the country, build you a home
plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
try and find jesus on your own
[verse 3]
well, i was young and hungry
and about to leave that place
when just as i was leaving
well, she looked me in the face
i said, “you must know the answer”
she said, “no, but i’ll give it a try”
and to this very day we’ve been living our way
here is the reason why

[chorus]
we blew up our tv, threw away our paper
went to the country, built us a home
had a lot of children, fed ’em on peaches
they all found jesus on their own
