Come Back To Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard - John Prine

The last time that I saw her

She was standing in the rain

With her overcoat under her arm

Leaning on a horsehead cane

She said 'carl take all the money'

She called everybody carl

My spirit's broke my mind's a joke

And getting up's real hard'

Don't you know her when you see her

She grew up in your back yard

Come back to us barbara lewis

Hare krishna beauregard

Selling bibles at the airports

Buying quayludes on the phone

Hey you talk about a paper route

She's a shut in without a home

Well god save her please

She's nailed her knees

To some drugstore parking lot

Hey Mr brown turn the volume down

I believe this evening's shot

Don't you know her when you see her

She grew up in your back yard

Come back to us barbara lewis

Hare krishna beauregard

Can't you picture her next thursday

Can you picture her at all

In the hotel boulderado

At the dark end of the hall

I gotta shake myself and wonder

Why she even bothers me

For if heartaches were commercials

We'd all be on tv

Don't you know her when you see her

She grew up in your back yard
