I'm sure you know by now that he has many good songs.....I grew up listening to his music ( among many other great artists ) yet he remains one of my favorites . Glad to hear you also enjoy his music .Cheers !
John, boy we miss you like hell. But we've still got your voice, songs and music. Hey fans: This song is from the double LP "The Missing Years". You're gonna' like EVERY SONG on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 Love 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 Yeah, 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 till you just get bored And 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 ❤💜
My late husband introduced me to John Prine. I can't go anywhere without his music. He is one if a kind. Love ya John. Your awesome!!! Hugs from Oregon
JP gives one the license to listen to beautiful music and songs, and at te same time, lsten to your heart, your soul and realise there's good in neself after all. JP could heal the most tortured soul. I love the memory of that beautiful man! RIP, JP !
Although I only discovered John prine about 6 months ago today is October 17th 2022. I am just so amazed that I never discovered him before. I know this song but never knew who made it. I love John's storytelling. This is the best song ever written except for in spite of ourselves which would be more appropriate if I had a partner but it's about loving someone because they're not perfect. I've yet to see that happen. Thank you John I love you
John, thank you for making a few minutes in my life a little better. I haven't figured any of this out yet at fifty, but your songs make me feel like I might be a little closer to doing so.
John, you always put a lump in my throat with such a great vibe and feel! Such a great writer! Thanks for helping me out in this odd journey! Hopefully I will get to meet you on the other side after I see my momma!
Beautiful like everything you write whether touching or funny; I love them all! Trying to get a ticket to see you in Atlanta!! Thank you John for being!
In weaker moments I must admit to ending my sad, pathetic life to this song, but that is neither here nor they’re sorry if I killed the vibe to this awesome song.
John, that was a nice little stroll down memory lane. I wish YOU all the best and happiness. I think of you often and hope you’re in good health. P.S. ‘Tree of Forgiveness’ is such an awesome CD. We’re all hoping you’re at work on one more (or even a career-spanning box set; “PRIME TIME PRINE”!) Sticks-of-TNT 03.08.19
I discovered John a few weeks after he died and watched the NPR Tiny Desk Concert with the 4 songs done acoustically. He was very old by then, but wow those 4 songs were very good, including this one.
Dear John, I have been liked your music since your first album. I saw you live at the Palamino club inL.a.,and I would like your coments on my song writting. Please go to "The Newbie Brother's" on you tube . There are 17 of my songs there. Thank YOU VERY MUCH.
If there was ever a song the world could use right now….
I don't think it's possible to be a bad person and a John Prine fan.
Every time I hear this,, I think of someone I should have sent it to (years ago). One of the costs of discovering Prine too late.
Wishing you all the best up there John it was a pleasure to have met you.
2023 and I just discovered this gem. Little late to the Prine party but glad I eventually made it!
Better late than not at all. He was so great. Dearly missed...
I just discovered John Prine. This is my favorite song. I had heard the song for years, never found out who the artist was. Thank you John.❤
Like finding a diamond in the rough!
I'm sure you know by now that he has many good songs.....I grew up listening to his music ( among many other great artists ) yet he remains one of my favorites .
Glad to hear you also enjoy his music .Cheers !
Been listenin' to Prine for most of my life. Unbeatable lyrics. American treasure. Love you, John.
He is a real treat to see live as well!
RIP
The Missing Years was an important album for me in college. I’m so sad John Prine left us today. His music will keep speaking to us.
John, boy we miss you like hell. But we've still got your voice, songs and music. Hey fans: This song is from the double LP "The Missing Years". You're gonna' like EVERY SONG on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
Love 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
Yeah, 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 till you just get bored
And 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 guess love is like a Christmas card.
You decorate a tree,
you throw it in the yard”….
Just an incredible lyric.
Every thing is cool, and this. Anthems.
God Bless John Prine.

Todd Snider tells story of hearing John playing this song at a bar after hours . Dawg’On shame...Instant classic!
All the best, John. All the best.
Then your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you. Read that again
