<pre><font size='+2'>THE GREAT COMPROMISE lyrics JOHN PRINE</font><br>Little girl, who was almost a lady<br />
She had a way with all the men in her life<br />
Every inch of her blossoming beauty<br />
She was born on the Fourth of July<br />
<br />
Well, she lived in an aluminum house trailer<br />
And she worked in a jukebox saloon<br />
And she spent all the money that I give her<br />
Just to see the old man in the moon<br />
<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, when I opened my eyes<br />
I was a victim of the great compromise<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, we`d go out on Saturday evenings<br />
To the drive-in on Route forty-one<br />
It was there that I first suspected<br />
She was doin what she`d already done<br />
<br />
<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 />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, you know I could have beat up that fella<br />
But it was her that had hopped into his car<br />
Many times I had fought to protect her<br />
But this time she was going too far<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, some folks, they call me a card<br />
Cause I left her at the drive-in that night<br />
Well, I`d ruther have names thrown at me<br />
Than to fight for a thing that ain`t right<br />
<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, she writes all the fellas love letters<br />
Saying, Greetings, come and see me real soon<br />
And they go and line up in the bar room<br />
Spend the night in that sick woman`s room<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, sometimes I get awful lonely<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 />
<br />

Little girl, who was almost a lady
She had a way with all the men in her life
Every inch of her blossoming beauty
She was born on the Fourth of July

Well, she lived in an aluminum house trailer
And she worked in a jukebox saloon
And she spent all the money that 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 forty-one
It was there that I first suspected
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

Chorus

Well, you know I could have beat up that fella
But it was her that had hopped into his car
Many times I had fought to protect her
But this time she was going too far

Now, some folks, they call me a card
Cause I left her at the drive-in that night
Well, I`d ruther have names thrown at me
Than to fight for a thing that ain`t right

Chorus

Well, she writes all the fellas love letters
Saying, Greetings, come and see me real soon
And they go and line up in the bar room
Spend the night in that sick woman`s room

Well, sometimes I get awful lonely
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
