<pre><font size='+2'>GREAT COMPROMISE lyrics JOHN PRINE</font><br>I knew a girl who was almost a lady<br />
She had a way with all the men in her life<br />
Every inch of her blossomed in beauty<br />
And she was born on the fourth of July<br />
Well she lived in an aluminum house trailer<br />
And she worked in a juke box saloon<br />
And she spent all the money I give her<br />
Just to see the old man in the moon<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
I used to sleep at the foot of Old Glory<br />
And awake in the dawn`s early light<br />
But much to my surprise<br />
When I opened my eyes<br />
I was a victim of the great compromise<br />
<br />
Well we`d go out on Saturday evenings<br />
To the drive-in on Route 41<br />
And it was there that I first suspected<br />
That she was doin` what she`d already done<br />
She said "Johnny won`t you get me some popcorn"<br />
And she knew I had to walk pretty far<br />
And as soon as I passed through the moonlight<br />
She hopped into a foreign sports car<br />
<br />
(Repeat chorus)<br />
<br />
Well you know I could have beat up that fellow<br />
But it was her that had hopped into his car<br />
Many times I`d fought to protect her<br />
But this time she was goin` too far<br />
Now some folks they call me a coward<br />
`Cause I left her at the drive-in that night<br />
But I`d druther have names thrown at me<br />
Than to fight for a thing that ain`t right<br />
<br />
(Repeat chorus)<br />
<br />
Now she writes all the fellows love letters<br />
Saying "Greetings, come and see me real soon"<br />
And they go and line up in the barroom<br />
And spend the night in that sick woman`s room<br />
But sometimes I get awful lonesome<br />
And I wish she was my girl instead<br />
But she won`t let me live with her<br />
And she makes me live in my head<br />
<br />

I knew a girl who was almost a lady
She had a way with all the men in her life
Every inch of her blossomed in beauty
And she was born on the fourth of July
Well she lived in an aluminum house trailer
And she worked in a juke box saloon
And she spent all the money I give her
Just to see the old man in the moon

Chorus:
I used to sleep at the foot of Old Glory
And awake in the dawn`s early light
But much to my surprise
When I opened my eyes
I was a victim of the great compromise

Well we`d go out on Saturday evenings
To the drive-in on Route 41
And it was there that I first suspected
That she was doin` what she`d already done
She said "Johnny won`t you get me some popcorn"
And she knew I had to walk pretty far
And as soon as I passed through the moonlight
She hopped into a foreign sports car

(Repeat chorus)

Well you know I could have beat up that fellow
But it was her that had hopped into his car
Many times I`d fought to protect her
But this time she was goin` too far
Now some folks they call me a coward
`Cause I left her at the drive-in that night
But I`d druther have names thrown at me
Than to fight for a thing that ain`t right

(Repeat chorus)

Now she writes all the fellows love letters
Saying "Greetings, come and see me real soon"
And they go and line up in the barroom
And spend the night in that sick woman`s room
But sometimes I get awful lonesome
And I wish she was my girl instead
But she won`t let me live with her
And she makes me live in my head

(Repeat chorus)
