Quiet Man - John Prine

Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand

I dont talk much Im a quiet man

Beauty and silence both run deep

And running like crazy while you are alseep

You got news for me, i got nothing for you

Dont pin your blues on me Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to Last monday night I saw a fight

Between wednesday and thursday over saturday night

Tuesday asked me what was going on I said,

«sundays in the meadow and fridays in the corn.»

Repeat chorus:

Hocus-pocus, maladjusted

Dont you think my tears get rusted

Steady losing means you aint using

What you really think is right

Repeat chorus:

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight

Both of gods eyes are shining tonight

Rays and beams of incredible dreams

And I am a quiet man.

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight

Both of gods eyes are shining tonight

Rays and beams of incredible dreams

And I am a quiet man.

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight

Both of gods eyes are shining tonight

Rays and beams of incredible dreams

And I am a quiet man.
