John Prine - Everything Is Cool Lyrics






Everything is cool
Everything's okay
Why just before last Christmas
My baby went away

Across the sea to an island
While the bridges brightly burn
So far away from my land
The valley of the unconcerned

I was walking down the road, man
Just looking at my shoes
When God sent me an angel
Just to chase away my blues

I saw a hundred thousand blackbirds
Just flying thru the sky
And they seemed to form a teardrop
From a black haired angel's eye

That tear fell all around me
And it washed my sins away
Now everything is cool
Everything's okay

Everything is cool
Everything's okay
Why just before last Christmas
My baby went away

And I find it real surprising
For myself to hear me say
That everything is cool
Everything's okay
Everything is cool
Everything's okay

Why just before last Christmas
My baby went away.

    Needed to hear this one, perspective ya know! Viva la John Prine!

  2. M.... H....

    If anyone can subtly convey heartbreak it's John Prine. Listen to "Maureen, Maureen.". The compexity of real human feelings he is somehow able to put into a song!

  3. j.... b....

  4. R.... C....

    I think a folk style harmonica part would have sounded better

  7. J.... C....

    John Thanks Nam Vet I’m getting there

  8. i.... ....

    Tried to find some info on Billy Bonk, couldn't find anything on the internet. Zip. Anyone have any info on this musician?

  9. g.... c....

    my baby went away just before a Christmas, it will never be the same, R.I.P my son , everything might be cool 1 day , when we r together again everything will be cool

    g.... c....

    geo c I hope time helps ease the pain...although we all know it will never be gone. Big love from afar❤️

    Folks are always saying this person or that one is the best songwriter of all time. But taking an entire body of work over 50 years ... (FIFTY!) does anyone quite compare to John Prine? Will Alexa ever respond to my daily, "Alexa ... play John Prine" with a "haven't you listened to him quite enough?" If she ever does, I will simply say no, not ever. What is probably most amazing, his work the past 5 years is at least as good, even better, that his first five. Long may you live, John Prine, and long may you write songs.

  11. R.... G....

    Nobody writes like JP.

  12. A.... M....

  15. M.... C....

    That tear fell all around me and washed my sins away.

  16. A.... ....

    Dude on harmonica looks like a Gelfling.

  17. J.... M....

    Thanks a lot for uploading Steven. Have loved John's music for years. Would you happen to know what Rachel Peer is doing now. Had hell of crush on her years ago.

    D.... f....

    David fletcher I wonder how many songs were a result of that divorce. A lot of the songs on the new album are heartbreaking. Not sure how he does it.
