about

A tribute to the late great John Prine, featured in a song premiere on AmericanaHighways.org.

lyrics

Almost Like Heaven
I was sitting on the backporch, kitchen light peaking through the blinds
The crickets were listening to me sing a song by John Prine
I was talking to him and telling him all about you
Yeah I talk to John Prine and he tells me what to do

Well I’d met him once before, but it was backstage
He looked like he did way back when, he had hardly aged
He told me to write you a song and tell you how I feel
Cause he said it sure looks to him like you’re the real deal

Well it’s almost like heaven when I look in your eyes
Like 7 come 11, like I’ve won a big prize
Yeah it’s almost like heaven when I see you smile
So let’s keep this going for a long, long while

Well you can’t imagine how this all made me feel
Was I losing my mind or was this all real
I was talking to a dead man and he was helping me write a song
But after the mushrooms wore off, John Prine was gone

Well it’s almost like heaven when I look in your eyes
You’ve made a big impression, you’re like a big door prize
Yeah it’s almost like heaven when I see you smile
So let’s keep this going for a long, long while
Well I’m sittin’ on the backporch, kitchen light peaking through the blinds
And I’m singing a song that I wrote with the ghost of John Prine
