Thread Name: Lyr ADD: In Spite of Ourselves (John Prine)
Subject: 'In Spite Of Ourselves' by John Prine
Excerpt from this article: Review of Concert for a Land Mine Free World Hammersmith Apollo, London W6 by Burhan Wazir, The Observer (January 20, 2002)

"[John Prine] rambles into a song written for the aborted movie, 'In Spite of Ourselves' - a duet he later recorded with Iris DeMent: 'She don't like her eggs all runny/ She thinks crossin' her legs is funny/ She looks down her nose at money/ She gets it on like the Easter Bunny/ She's my baby I'm her honey/ I'm never gonna let her go.' "


Well, Autumn 75, you have the song... and it only took two years and 14 minutes! :^)
