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 juke box broke
And she gave a peck
On the back of my neck..
And these are the words she spoke...
Blow up your TV
Throw away your paper
Move into the country
Build you a home
Plant a little garden
Eat a lot of peaches
Try to find Jesus
On your own

Well, I was young and hungry
And about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin'
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 been livin' our own way
And here is the reason why
We blew up our TV
Threw away our paper
Moved into the country
Built us a home
Had a lot of children
Fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus
On their own.

John Prine, an American Icon. We pulled him out of Chicago and planted him right here in Nashville.

1. The best concert I ever attended was
John Prine - it was a big group sing-along with just John and his guitar.
