My Morning Jacket - All the Best Lyrics

My Morning Jacket Lyrics

"All the Best"
(originally by John Prine)

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 do like I did
You'd probably run 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 love is like a Christmas card
You decorate a tree you throw it in the yard
And it decays and dies and the snowmen melt
Well, I 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
And I got so much love that I just can't hide
Well, I got so much love that I just can't hide

Say you drive a Chevy, say you drive a Ford
Say you drive around the town till you just get bored
And then you change your mind for something else to do
Then 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
