| John Prine – Donald And Lydia Lyrics

I'm always amazed when I see John Prine in person and this song draws laughs. Yes it's about masturbation. But more importantly it's about loneliness and isolation. It's such a sad song and the line "fat girl daughter of Virginia and Ray" always draws a number of laughs. I just shake my head in wonder. |

It's a brilliant song that can be taken literally as well as politically. Prine has spoken about the comparison to the USA in interviews, though. |

"Greetings" was the first word in a draft notice. I think it's about how the country had taken a turn that the singer could not support and he feels the pain of losing the country he once knew and loved. |

Sam is a broken person because of his habit. Life is the sweet song, Sam is the broken radio. |

Actually "little pitchers have big ears" is about children listening to things that are beyond them and not meant for them to hear. You shouldn't talk about certain subjects around children because they are listening when you aren't aware that they are. It's a statement similar to "the walls have ears" |
