Out of Love by John Prine Lyrics
Barley malts and dozy doats and little girls are lively
And your liveliness has left me in a brew
So I'm sitting here just drinking beer 'cause there's nothing else to do
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
We were so happy, honey, when we were together
Why, we should have won a ribbon colored blue
But those Rocky Mountain waters came between us
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
So I'm living in the land of sky blue water
And I'm grabbing all the gusto up, it's true
Well, you only go around once in life, they say
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
These teardrops that I'm crying are the champagne of bottled tears
And I must admit that I've shed one or two
But when good friends get together, well they always tip a few
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
So I'm living in the land of sky blue water
And I'm grabbing all the gusto up, it's true
Well, you only go around once in life, they say
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
So put me in a cool place, for I'm the King of Beers
Forty to forty-five degrees will do
And if you must play that jukebox, let it be low and now
'Cause when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
And I'm living in the land of sky blue water
And I'm grabbing all the gusto up, it's true
Well, you only go around once in life, they say
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
So if you got the time, we got the tears
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
And your liveliness has left me in a brew
So I'm sitting here just drinking beer 'cause there's nothing else to do
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
We were so happy, honey, when we were together
Why, we should have won a ribbon colored blue
But those Rocky Mountain waters came between us
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
So I'm living in the land of sky blue water
And I'm grabbing all the gusto up, it's true
Well, you only go around once in life, they say
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
These teardrops that I'm crying are the champagne of bottled tears
And I must admit that I've shed one or two
But when good friends get together, well they always tip a few
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
So I'm living in the land of sky blue water
And I'm grabbing all the gusto up, it's true
Well, you only go around once in life, they say
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
So put me in a cool place, for I'm the King of Beers
Forty to forty-five degrees will do
And if you must play that jukebox, let it be low and now
'Cause when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
And I'm living in the land of sky blue water
And I'm grabbing all the gusto up, it's true
Well, you only go around once in life, they say
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
So if you got the time, we got the tears
And when I'm out of love, I'm out of you
