John Prine - Stick a Needle In My Eye lyrics

rate me

I'm awfully tired of the same old business

Kiss the babies, make 'em cry

I'm only lookin' for one good woman

Cross my heart and hope to die

Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye

Got a load of mashed potatoes

Holdin' gravy like a fishin' hole

I know something that might sound funny

I got no money and my buddy's broke

I got no money and my buddy's broke

Counterculture, mother vulture

Post Toasties and a quart of beer

I'm only looking for a place to go to

Somebody ask me what I'm doin' here?

Somebody ask me what I'm doin' here?

A boneless breast and a crispy thigh

Sittin' at the bar n' giving me the eye

Black crows on a garbage can

What kind of fella do you think I am?

Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye

I'm fallin' in with bad companions

My mind is weak and my throat is dry

Thanksgiving in the Grand Canyon

Can't keep my fingers off that country pie

I'm awfully tired of the same old business

Kiss the babies, make 'em cry

I'm only lookin' for one good woman

Cross my heart and hope to die

Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye

Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye
