Song by Iris DeMent, John Prine<br /><br>

She don't like her eggs all runny<br>

She thinks crossin' her legs is funny<br>

She looks down her nose at money<br>

She gets it on like the Easter Bunny<br>

She's my baby I'm her honey<br>

I'm never gonna let her go<br>

<br>

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays<br>

I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies<br>

He ain't too sharp but he gets things done<br>

Drinks his beer like it's oxygen<br>

He's my baby<br>

And I'm his honey<br>

Never gonna let him go<br>

<br>

In spite of ourselves<br>

We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow<br>

Against all odds<br>

Honey, we're the big door prize<br>

We're gonna spite our noses<br>

Right off of our faces<br>

There won't be nothin' but big old hearts<br>

Dancin' in our eyes.<br>

<br>

She thinks all my jokes are corny<br>

Convict movies make her horny<br>

She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs<br>

Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs<br>

She takes a lickin'<br>

And keeps on tickin'<br>

I'm never gonna let her go.<br>

<br>

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey<br>

He's a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie<br>

Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon<br>

Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon<br>

He's my baby I don't mean maybe<br>

Never gonna let him go<br>

<br>

In spite of ourselves<br>

We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow<br>

Against all odds<br>

Honey, we're the big door prize<br>

We're gonna spite our noses<br>

Right off of our faces<br>

There won't be nothin' but big old hearts<br>

Dancin' in our eyes.<br>

There won't be nothin' but big old hearts<br>

Dancin' in our eyes.<br>

<br>

(spoken) In spite of ourselves<br>

<br>
