John Prine

This is a song I wrote when I was in the army in Germany. I was sitting on my bunk making up the words one night and this buddy of mine from Louisiana walked in and sat on the bunk across from me and started listening to the words I was writing. I guess he felt they struck him kinda funny. So he slapped his leg and said, "Aw heck." So I put that in the song and made him a songwriter too.

I could be as happy as a sardine in a can
Long as I got my woman
I could run stark naked and live in an old oak tree
Just as long as she's with me
My woman

The cannibals can catch me and fry me in a pan
Long as I got my woman
I could get the electric chair for a phony rap
Long as she's sittin' in my lap
My woman

I'd run a mile just to see her smile
And put her lovin' arms around my nеck, aw heck!
My spine starts a-tingling and bells start a-ringing
Whеn she's with me, can't you see?

They could torture me and stretch me like a rubber band
Long as I got my woman
I could jump off a cliff and never have no fear
Just as long as she is near
My woman
