Down the hall upstairs from me
There's a girl I swear I never see
I hear the ringing of her phone
She must live up there all alone
She hangs her clothes out on the line
They're hanging there right next to mine
And if the wind should blow just right
She could be in my arms tonight
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
The cashier at the pump & pay
Knows everything's gonna be okay
The all night all right rent-a-cop
Is across the street at the donut shop
The waitress waits with whiskey sour
At the single mingle happy hour
The one man band begins to sing
Accompanied by a drum machine
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
White divorced swinging male
Seeks company to no avail
Worthless ruthless toothless man
Wants wealthy woman with a plan
SWF with a PhD
Seeks TLC at the A&P
GWM nice and trim
Seeks s-e-x at the g-y-m
Ugly man treats girls like dirt
Wants buttons sewn upon his shirt
DUI at the b-a-r
Seeks m-a-n with c-a-r
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
Toothy gal with breasts so large
Takes Visa Amex Master Charge
Dial 1-900 girls for fun
You lonely little hot dog bun
There's a girl I swear I never see
I hear the ringing of her phone
She must live up there all alone
She hangs her clothes out on the line
They're hanging there right next to mine
And if the wind should blow just right
She could be in my arms tonight
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
The cashier at the pump & pay
Knows everything's gonna be okay
The all night all right rent-a-cop
Is across the street at the donut shop
The waitress waits with whiskey sour
At the single mingle happy hour
The one man band begins to sing
Accompanied by a drum machine
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
White divorced swinging male

We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone
We are the lonely all together
All together we're all alone

Hearing what I have of this artist, here, on RP, makes me really wish I'd have been introduced to his stuff long ago!! May he rest in the loving arms of his creator.
This is brilliant!
Huge fan here. Have seen him over 15 times since 1971. Play more Prine!

I really like this guy. Ain't gonna meet him tho

RIP John Prine, hope you are fishing and whistling in heaven.
Great to hear some John Prine on RP, and to hear him getting the recognition he so deserves. Truly a sad loss. Would be good to hear some more....Lake Marie perhaps
