John Prine - Beautiful World Lyrics
Some of us spend hoursIn front of a friday night mirrorTrying to understand the kinda worldWhere the beautiful prosperSlicking up the kinda hairThat the magazines says a lost causePicking out the kinda girl in your mindTo go walking with youYesterday I met a girlShe made marilyn monroe look like . . . meAll she had to do was walk in the roomAnd my problems were startingThen shed at me and shed smileAnd I feel feel such a pain in my heartWanting her to come and whisper to meYoure the man of my dreamsBeautiful world, beautiful worldSending me dreams, touching my hairMaking me cry . . . so I feel aliveBeautiful world, why do I hide?I dunno whyI should spend so much time feeling so badI got everything a sinner could hope to getThis side of edenMaybe some day Ill wake upAnd Ill do what I shouldWrite a song to make heaven and earthGo waltzing in timeRepeat chorus
