Lyrics:
She is my everything
From her sun tanned shoulders
Down to the freckles on her wedding ring
Her feet is so warm
They can melt the snow in the early spring
She is my everything
She goes everywhere
From Copenhagen to makin' eggs and bacon
Down in Jackson Square
I?d like to drive a Cadillac
The color of her long black hair
She goes everywhere
Kisses that come all the way from China
Kinda remind her of memories of Spain
If I get lost, you can always find her
Standing right beside me in the rain
She uses the Eveready
Batteries to keep her electrical
Appliances going steady
She can do 14 things at once
And then her phone?ll ring
She is my everything
She knows everybody
From Muhammad Ali to teaching Bruce Lee
How to do Karate
She could lead a parade
While puttin' on her shades in her Masaratti
She knows everybody
Kisses that come all the way from China
Kinda remind her of memories of Spain
If I get lost, you can always find her
Standing right beside me in the rain
She is my everything
When she wakes up in the morning
That's when the birdies start to sing
When I hear her voice
I'll tell you boys, I forget everything
She is my everything
She is my everything
Watch out


Singer. Songwriter. Poet. Icon.
John Prine was an artist’s artist with a list of admirers and collaborators that cut across musical genres and generations - names like Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Brandi Carlile, George Strait, Kurt Vile, Miranda Lambert, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris, among others.

Though he was born in Maywood, Illinois, in 1946, John declared himself “pure Kentuckian” throughout his life. His parents, Willian and Verna, were natives of Paradise, Kentucky. The family would spend summers there in Muhlenberg County, where John listened to bluegrass music and studied the guitar styles of country music heroes Doc Watson and Merle Travis with his older brother, Dave.

In Maywood, he worked as a postman before being drafted into the army in 1966. It was as a postman that John began to write the songs that would connect with so many. He sang at Chicago folk clubs, where he was introduced to singer-songwriter Kris Kristopherson, who invited John to open for him in New York. It was there that Jerry Wexler, president of Atlantic Records, first heard Prine and offered him a recording contract. His self-titled debut album was released in 1971 and featured a list of songs now regarded as classics, including “Paradise,” “Angel From Montgomery,” “Illegal Smile,” Hello in There,” and “Sam Stone.” Prine received the first of his 13 Grammy nominations in 1972 for Best New Artist. He would record three more albums for Atlantic and another three with Asylum.

His profound impact on American music was amplified in 1981 when John co-founded Oh Boy Records, and independent label where he released most of his subsequent work and which gave voice and respect to so many fellow singers and songwriters.

In his distinguished career, John won four Grammys and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2020). He was a three-time recipient of the Artist of the Year Award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards, which also honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting. He won the Pen/New England Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award (2016) and was enshrined in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2019). In addition, John was named Honorary Poet Laureate of Illinois (2020).

John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 due to complications from Covid-19. The outpouring of grief and love from his fan community was staggering. Over 500,000 viewers participated in an online memorial and tribute that raised more than half a million dollars for Covid-related community causes. In 2021, the Prine family created the Hello In There Foundation to honor John’s spirit of generosity towards those in need. Fiona Prine and her sons continue to operate and expand the reach of John’s independent record label, Oh Boy Records.
