The Oldest Baby in the World (Live) lyrics

by

John Prine


[Verse 1]
She's got the mind of a child and a body peeking over the hill
Well, she would if she could, and she should, but nobody will
With her nails painted red and her hair so unnaturally curled
Well, I think that she may be the oldest baby in the world

[Verse 2]
She's tasted the night life, but it's left her with nothing but hunger
And all the available men seem to think that they want somethin' younger
But youth is a costume and the beauty within lies unfurled
And I think that she may be the oldest baby in the world

[Bridge]
Fast horsеs win races, royal flushes beat acеs
And everyone's playing to keep
So let's turn out the lights
And rock that old baby to sleep

[Verse 3]
She loves the sound of the rain but you know she's still afraid of the thunder
She keeps her head full of hope and her heart is so full of wonder
She may look like a woman but she's still some daddy's little girl
And I think that she may be the oldest baby in the world

[Outro]
Yes, I think that she may be the oldest baby in the world
