Story Behind The Song

recollection a great songwriter following dath from Corona Virus

Lyrics

John Prine Bought The Farm 4/11/20 Patrick P Welch

John Prine you bought the farm, get that wrist watch off your arm.
God ain't keeping time ... everything is fine

God knows what he will find, God knows and God is kind.

Maybe you'll start that rock-n-roll band, and get a drink from the masters hand

Under the forgiveness tree, a place you like to be.

John Prine we give you up, just for now we'll raise a cup

Thanks for all the songs you made, love and laughs to us you gave.

Hope you get that cigarette, much too long to get it lit.

You crossed into a brand new life, one where there is no fight.

So write some great new songs, we will soon be coming along.

Yea write some real good songs let the angels sing along

You'll have a great big back-up band waiting in that land

Soon we will be along to listen to your brand new songs

Where it's Christmas every day, all tears are wiped away..

We hope you have a ball, we'll find you in your songs

Until a better day when we will come along...

Yes we all come along..

We all will come along.
