Sweet Revenge Lyrics - Prime Prine: The Best Of John Prine - John Prine

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 through 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:
