flashback blues - john prine lyrics

Loading...

while window shopping through the past
i ran across a looking gl-ss
reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light
tragic magic prayers of p-ssion
stay the same through changing fashions
they freeze my mind like water on a winter’s night

spent most of my youth
out hobo cruising
and all i got for proof
is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
so goodbye nonbeliever
don’t you know that i hate to leave here
so long babe, i got the flashback blues.

photographs show the laughs
recorded in between the bad times
happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship
cloudy skies and dead fruit flies
waving goodbye with tears in my eyes
well, sure i made it but ya know it was as h-ll of a trip.

spent most of my youth
out hobo cruising
and all i got for proof
is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
and ten times what it grieves you
that’s how much more i hate to leave you now
so long babe, i got the flashback blues.

spent most of my youth
out hobo cruising
and all i got for proof
is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
so goodbye nonbeliever
don’t you know that i hate to leave here
so long babe, i got the flashback blues.
