All the Best
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 and it 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 'til 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

I love John Prine.
Sometimes that man can lay a piece of life out there in a song that you'd absolutely swear he stole right out of your private thoughts and experiences.
*hug*
