out of love

Singer: john prine

barley malts and does eat oats and little girls are lively

and your liveliness has left me in a brew

so i'm sitting here just drinking beer

cause there's nothing else to do. and when i'm out of love

i'm out of you. we were so happy

honey when we were together

why we should have won a ribbon colored blue

but those rocky mountain waters came between us

and when i'm out of love

i'm out of you. so i'm living in the land of sky blue waters

and i'm grabbing all the gusto up it's true

well

you only go around once in life they say

and when i'm out of love

i'm out of you

these teardrops that i'm crying are the champagne of bottled tears

and i must admit that i've shed one or two

but when good friends get together well they always tip a few

and when i'm out of love

i'm out of you. so put me in a cool place for i'm the king of beers

forty to forty-five degrees will do

and if you must play that jukebox let it be low and now

'cause when i'm out of love

i'm out of you. so if you go the time

we got the tears

and when i'm out of love

i'm out of you
