    Lyrics:
    I wish you love - and happiness
    I guess I wish - you all the best
    I wish you don't - do like I do
    And never fall in love with someone like you
    Cause if you fell - just like I did
    You'd probably walk around the block like a little kid
    But kids don't know - they can only guess
    How hard it is - to wish you happiness
    I guess that love - is like a Christmas card
    You decorate a tree - you throw it in the yard
    It decays and dies - and the snowmen melt
    Well, I once knew love - I knew how love felt
    Yeah I knew love - love knew me
    And when I walked - love walked with me
    And I got no hate - and I got no pride
    Well, I got so much love that I cannot hide
    Yeah, I got so much love that I cannot hide
    Say you drive a Chevy - say you drive a Ford
    Say you drive around the town 'till you just get bored
    Then you change you mind - for something else to do
    And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you
    Well it's a doggone shame - and it's an awful mess
    I wish you love - I wish you happiness
    I wish you love - I wish you happiness
    I guess I wish - you all the best

    Can't believe I'm 71 years old, had never heard of John until that dam corona virus took his life. Listening to his music has made it alot easier to cope with these bad times. I guarantee you I am now a fan for the rest of my life! Thanks John Prine, REST IN PEACE!

      I'm in the same boat. I'm almost 60 and I fund out who he was after a buddy of mine posted a video of The Zac Brown Band doing their version of this song. Both are very different from each, but both great in their right. John was an amazing talent and was kind enough to leave us all here his great legacy of songs. I would've loved to have been at this performance.

    Just wrote this for John Prine. I call it: Just for John.
    I guess you gone
    And that you had to leave
    Like the rain that falls down
    With the Autumn leaves
    And that rain
    As it hits the dirt
    Can it quench this flame?
    Wash away the hurt?
    Well I'm not sure
    Just how things go
    Absurd how we run
    When we can't touch our toes
    But it's common sense
    I mean it just seems fair
    That no one should do
    What they cannot bear
    And tonight you're free
    And tonight I cry
    You left me standing
    Like I don't know why
    Yes here I stand
    Although I'm on my knees
    Out in the rain
    On the Autumn leaves
    Where the rain does fall
    Relentlessly
    And tonight I cry
    And tonight you're free
    And it ain't just
    But it's just like you
    To go and leave
    Before you're time is through
    Well I do hope
    You make it home
    And that you get as far away
    From all alone
    That you find some peace
    That you find some rest
    You flew the coop
    I hope you find a nest
    What you did
    No one could do
    There will never be
    No one like you
    And tonight you're free
    Tonight I cry
    You left me standing
    Like I don't know why.
