I totally agree as with you guys. But, it did take me a while on the site before i got over to John, as much as i love him. I was told by the guy who introduced me to John Prine that he wrote this song when he was a teenager. Was never one of my friend's favorites - can't understand why, because i love this song.
Particularly the concept of asking for an extra season to figure out the other 4, because wouldn't that just give you 3 more months you didn't truly understand either? Love John Prine.
@StickityWicket I had the same question but then thinking to myself, a little deeper, I realized he's asking for an 'extra' season. One extra one. Like a 5th one. Anyway, that's the way I see it. Imagery leaves a lot to interpretation which is why it's so kool. I love 'Far From Me' also. It took me several times listening and reading the lyrics until I finally got it...at least I think I did! :)
