(From The 2026 Album Fortune Teller)
Intro
Verse 1
I Dreamt I Met John Prine
I Tried Not To Get Anxious As We Exchanged Ideas
Said He Knew A Great Little Place Where We Could Grab A Pint
I Carried Him In My Arms Up The Streets Of Montreal
Cradled Him So Carefully So He Would Not Fall
We Swung Into A Ditch And I Used All My Will
To Gather Him Back Up And Get Him Over That Hill
Scratched By The Branches As We Past The Treeline
I Dreamt I Met John Prine
Chorus
John Prine Am I Runnin’ Out Of Time
John Prine Should I Take This As A Sign
Fore That Old Grim Reeper
Comes To Take What's Mine
I Gotta Pay My Dues To John Prine
Verse 2
I Dreamt I Met John Prine
Sitting In A Fifties Diner Booth It Felt Like Paradise
Handed Him My Records, He Didn't Act Surprised
Something I Retorted Made Him Chortle Made Him Laugh
I'm Trying To Remember Was It Clever Was It Sad
Chorus
John Prine Am I Runnin’ Out Of Time
John Prine Should I Take This As A Sign
Fore That Old Grim Reeper
Comes To Take What's Mine
I Gotta Pay My Dues To John Prine
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
I Dreamt I Met John Prine
We Were Like Old Pals, We Were Two Of A Kind
He Just Really Got Me Like Some Angel From Montgomery
In Spite Of All My Foibles, My Fussin' And My Cryin'
Chorus
John Prine Am I Runnin’ Out Of Time
John Prine Should I Take This As A Sign
Fore That Old Grim Reeper
Comes To Take What's Mine
I Gotta Pay My Dues To John Prine
John Prine Am I Runnin’ Out Of Time
John Prine Is This Some Kind Of Sign
With An Achin' Heart And A Weary Mind
I Gotta Pay My Dues To John Prine
Outro
When I Get To Heaven
When I Leave This World Behind
Will I Be Pickin' Tunes
Way Down On The Moon
Killing All My Blues
Drinkin' Moscow Mules
And Smoking Like A Fool
Where Everything Is Cool With John Prine
