In spite of ourselves

John Prine

CShe don't like her eggs all runny
CShe thinks crossin' her legs is funny
FShe looks down her nose at money
CShe gets it on like the easter bunny
GShe's my baby, I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her Cgo

Iris DeMent

CHe ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
CI caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
FHe ain't too sharp but he gets things done
CDrinks his beer like it's oxygen
GHe's my baby, and I'm his honey
Never gonna let him Cgo

Chorus

InC spite of ourFselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a Crainbow
Against all Godds
Honey, we're the big door Cprize
We're gonna Fspite our noses
Right off of our Cfaces
There won't be Cnothin' but big old G7hearts
Dancin' in our Ceyes

John Prine

CShe thinks all my jokes are corny
CConvict movies make her horny
FShe likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
CSwears like a sailor when she shaves her legs
GShe takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her Cgo

Iris DeMent

CHe's got more balls than a big brass monkey
CHe's a wacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
FSly as a fox and crazy as a loon
CPayday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
GHe's my baby, I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him Cgo

Chorus

CIn spite of ourFselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a Crainbow
Against all Godds
Honey, we're the big door Cprize
We're gonna Fspite our noses
Right off of our Cfaces
There won't be Cnothin' but big old Ghearts
Dancin' in our Ceyes
