All the best.
by John Prine


I wish you love
And happiness
I guess I wish you
All the best

I wish you don't
Do like I do
And ever 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

Say you drive a Chevy
Say you drive a Ford
You say you drive around the town till you just get bored

Then you change your 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

3. Teh man turns damning with feint praise into a thing of beauty
I know that you're sad
I know that you're lonely
you lie awake 'till way past when
I want you to know
that I'm leaving you only
'cause I might not get the chance again.

Chorus:
I'm cold and I'm tired
and I can't stop coughing
long enough to tell you all of the news
I'd like to tell you
that I'll see you more often
but often is a word I seldom use
often is a word I seldom use.
