Artist/Band: John Prine
Lyrics for Song: Picture Show
Lyrics for Album: Live On Tour [1997]



A young man from a small town

With a very large imagination

Lay alone in his room with his radio on

Looking for another station

When the static from the mouthpiece

Gave way to the sound below

James dean went out to hollywood

And put his picture in a picture show.

James dean went out to hollywood

And put his picture in a picture show.



Chorus:

And it's oh daddy get off of your knees

Mamma why'd you have to go

Your darling jim is out a limb

I put my picture in a picture show

Whoa ho! put my picture in a picture show



Hamburgers cheeseburgers

Wilbur and orville wright

John garfield in the afternoon

Montgomery clift at night

When the static hit the mouthpiece

Gave way to the sound below

James dean went out to hollywood

And put his picture in a picture show.



Repeat chorus:



A mocca man in a wigwam sitting on a reservation.

With a big black hole in the belly of his soul

Waiting on an explanation

While the white man sits on his fat can

And takes pictures of the navajo

Every time he clicks his kodak pics

He steals a little bit of soul.

Every time he clicks his kodak pics

He steals a little bit of soul.



Repeat chorus:



Yie hi! put my picture in a picture show

Here we go!

A young man from a small town

With a very large imagination...
