John Prine - Me, Myself, and I lyrics

rate me

Well, tonight I'll throw a party

And I know who I'll invite

There's a strange and lonely person

With whom I'll spend this night

There'll be no old sad memories

To haunt me till I die

In that room there'll be a bottle

And me, myself and I

In that room there'll be a bottle

And me, myself and I

I've been introduced to many

People I don't understand

I've been in the house of lonely.

I've shook a thousand shaking hands

But tonight I'll be with someone

Who will look me in the eye

And in that room there'll be a bottle

And me, myself and I

In that room there'll be a bottle

And me, myself and I

At that party you'll see me when I was just a child

In a room full of happy with a heart so meek and mild

And that child will meet a ghost that will haunt him oh so bad

From a family of confusion pretending love they never had.

So, tonight I'll throw that party

And I know just what I'll do

Yes, I'll meet myself at midnight

And cry the whole night thru

Yeah, I'll meet that ghost of sadness

And he'll look me in the eye

And in that room there'll be that bottle

And me, myself and I

In that room there'll be a bottle

And me, myself and I
