Sweet Revenge Lyrics by John Prine

Sweet Revenge Lyrics

    I got kicked off noah's ark
    I turn my cheek to unkind remarks
    There was two of everything
    But one of me
    And when the rains came tumbling down
    I held my breath and i stood my ground
    And i watched that ship go sailing
    Out to sea.

    Chorus:
    Take it back
    Take it back
    Oh no, you can't say that
    All of my friends
    Are not dead or in jail
    Through rock and stone
    The black wind still moans
    Sweet revenge
    Sweet revenge
    Without fail.

    I caught an aisle seat on a plane
    And drove an english teacher half insane
    Making up jokes about bicycle spokes
    And red balloons
    So i called up my local deejay
    And he didn't have a lot to say
    But the radio
    Has learned all of my favorite tunes.

    Chorus:

    The white meat is on the run
    And the dark meat is far too done
    And the milkman left me a note yesterday
    Get out of this town by noon
    You're coming on way too soon
    And besides that
    We never liked you any way.

    Chorus:
