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
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
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]

John Prine Sour Grapes Comments
This just about sums it up
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❤
Love this guy so much
Heard he wrote this tune when he was 14 yrs old, if thats true Holy lord hope I get to see him at the Beacon theater, ny
can say no more than devin!
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.
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.
PenthesileaSaraswati I love your comment nxt time use simpler nomenclature and more ppl will get a chance to like it
Me too!! Some of my earliest memories have John playing in the background. Wont pass an elderly person without saying hello, because of John.😚🤗
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.
John Prine...couldn't imagine life without his music
yes john is still alive
There is no musician that has affected my values like this man. So. Where is he?
I hear ya. 🤗😚
Is john still alive?
@Jac Blakley Still touring .. running on fumes and God's grace.
Some evil post on this artists page. I declare Wilma's law: If You Can't Say Somethin nice don't say anything at all!! (Wilma was my Ma Ya'll)
this is johns best song and my favorite
I believe this was the first song John ever wrote, I believe he was 14
This is a hell of a song, written by a hell of a composer.
