I blew up my Tv...threw away my paper...moved to the country...And now, I eat a lot of peaches...I also ain't got laid in a month of Sundays but thats a different tune...
Jackson Browne played and we waited after to meet Jackson. I went to my car and got my guitar for him to sign.
I waited until folks yacked with him a while then asked if he'd autograph my guitar. "A guitar? Sure man."
Brought the guitar out and some guy noticed the other signatures. "Who else is on there?" he asked.
Not wanting to go through the 13 names at the time (now over 40) I said "Well, John Prine for one".
He said "Who's John Prine?". Jackson immediately stopped what he was doing, looked at this guy, and asked incredulously "You don't know who John Prine is?"
Lots of good stories getting that guitar signed. That's one of the most memorable.
It was Christmas in prison and the food was real good
We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood
I dream of her always even when I don't dream
Her name's on my tongue and her blood's in my stream.
Wait a while eternity
Old Mother Nature's got nothin' on me
Come to me, run to me, come to me now
I'm rollin' my sweetheart
I'm flowin' by God
She reminds me of a chess game with someone I admire
Or a picnic in the rain after a prairie fire
Her heart is as big as this whole goddamn jail
And she's sweeter than saccharine at a drug store sale
Wait a while eternity
Old Mother Nature's got nothin' on me
Come to me, run to me, come to me now
I'm rollin' my sweetheart
I'm flowin' by God
The search light in the big yard turns 'round with the gun
And spotlights the snowflakes like the dust in the sun
It's Christmas in prison there'll be music tonight
I'll probably get homesick, I love you, Good night
Wait a while eternity
Old Mother Nature's got nothin' on me
Come to me, run to me, come to me now
I'm rollin' my sweetheart
I'm flowin' by God
john prine used to live 5 houses down the street from me when i was a kid. helluva songwriter. you could hear him playin on warm summer nights when the windows were open. long road for him but he had a grate work ethic and belief in himself.an american master.

LYRICS
It was Christmas in prison and the food was real good
We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood
I dream of her always even when I don't dream
Her name's on my tongue and her blood's in my stream.
Wait a while eternity
Old Mother Nature's got nothin' on me
Come to me, run to me, come to me now
I'm rollin' my sweetheart
I'm flowin' by God

Or a picnic in the rain after a prairie fire
Her heart is as big as this whole goddamn jail
And she's sweeter than saccharine at a drug store sale
Wait a while eternity
Old Mother Nature's got nothin' on me
Come to me, run to me, come to me now
I'm rollin' my sweetheart
I'm flowin' by God

And spotlights the snowflakes like the dust in the sun
It's Christmas in prison there'll be music tonight
I'll probably get homesick, I love you, Good night
