Moonlight shining on the back of my hand
Cat fight rattlin' the garbage can
Looks like somethin' chased you up a tree
Same thing, same thing happened to me
Wild wind blowing down the neck of my shirt
Old men sitting on a bench in the dirt
Seems that another ship has gone out to sea
Same thing, same thing happened to me
Shoe shine someone’s got to tell ya the news
A fine line separates a boy from the blues
Looks like you could use some company
Same thing, same thing happened to me
Runnin', runnin' just as fast as I can
Someone, someone take a hold of my hand
Looks like somethin' chased you up a tree
Same thing, same thing happened to me
Same thing, same thing happened to me
Songwriters: John Prine, Gary Nicholson
John never gets old. Been listening to him for 37yrs since my dad introduced me to his music at 12. I use to make mix tapes of his music and give them away to people i knew would like his music. And most of them are still fans I'm sure!!!
My dad played this song for me in our first house we lived in. I would have been maybe 4 or 5 at the time. My mom and dad would dance around the living room to it. Finally got reconnected with this song. It brings back some great memories and John Prine is one hell of a musician.
