"My God Thank You John" lyrics

John Prine Lyrics

"My God Thank You John"

I took my baby for something to eat
I took my baby for something to eat
I took my baby out for something to eat
She said, "My God
Thank you, John."

I bought my baby a steak and a potato
Bought her steak and a potato
I bought her a steak and a potato
She said, "My God
Thank you, John."

She took me home to meet her kin
She took me home to meet her kin
She took me home to meet her kin
Made me get out and wouldn't let me back in

She asked me if she could drive my car
She asked me if she could drive my car
She asked me if she could drive my car
I said, "Yes, but you can't go far."

I took my baby on a Ferris wheel
I took my baby on a Ferris wheel
We got up there, I asked her, "How did it feel?"
She said, "My God
Thank you, John."

There ain't much difference between the dirt and the sky
There ain't much difference between the dirt and the sky
There ain't much difference between the dirt and the sky
Except for you and I

I took my baby for a bite to eat
I took my baby for a bite to eat
I took my baby for a bite to eat
She said, "My God
Thank you, John."
