[Verse 1] (John Prine)
She don't like
her eggs all
runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down
her nose at m
oney
She gets it on
like the East
er Bunny
She's my baby,
I'm her honey
I'm never gonn
a let her go
[Verse 2] (Iris DeMent)
He ain't got l
aid in a month
of Sundays
Caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too s
harp but he ge
ts things done
Drinks his bee
r like it's ox
ygen
He's my baby,
and I'm his ho
ney
Never gonna le
t him go
[Chorus]
(
In spite of ou
rselves
We'll end up a
-sittin' on a
rainbow
Against all od
ds
Honey, we're t
he big door pr
ize
We're gonna sp
ite our noses
Right off of o
ur faces
There won't be
nothin' but b
ig old hearts
Dancin' in our
eyes
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3] (John Prine)
She thinks all
my jokes are
corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketc
hup on her scr
ambled eggs
Swears like a
sailor when sh
e shaves her l
egs
She takes a li
ckin', and kee
ps on tickin'
I'm never gonn
a let her go
[Verse 4] (Iris DeMent)
He's got more
balls than a b
ig brass monke
y
He's a wacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
Sly as a fox,
crazy as a loo
n
Payday comes a
nd he's a-howl
in' at the moo
n
He's my baby,
I don't mean m
aybe
Never gonna le
t him go
[Chorus]

rselves

he big door pr
ize
