John Prine - Sour Grapes Lyrics






I don't care if the sun don't shine
But it better or people will wonder
And I couldn't care less if it never stopped rainin'
'Cept the kids are afraid of the thunder

[Chorus:]
Say sour grapes
You can laugh and stare
Say sour grapes
But I don't care

I couldn't care less if I didn't have a friend
'Cept people would say I was crazy
And I wouldn't work 'cause I don't need money
But the same folks would say I was lazy

[Chorus]

I couldn't care less if she never come back
I was gonna leave her anyway
And all the good times that we shared
Don't mean a thing to day

[Chorus]

    I have loved John Prine since I was a child and my Dad played his records after supper. What a treat it was to see him some 20 years ago at The University at Buffalo, a once in a lifetime gift I got to share with my Dad....love you Mr Prine❤

    This is my go to song when thoughts are buzzing around in my head and I just have to get down to concentrating on one thing.

  7. b.... b....

    absolutely!

    I was raised on John Prine. This song has been part of my cognitive reality for more than twenty years now and I find myself, in the course of life's quandaries and tough decisions, coming back to it when I need to remember to forget and just say 'sour grapes' and let go. Thanks.

    If I could only listen to one musician, this would be the one. It's been that way for me for the last 30 years. Thank You John.

    He also wrote Hello in There ,which is about the feelings and lives of old folks telling their story, as a young man. Early Twentys. Ya have to wonder, how would he know what it's like to be old? Genious.
