Texty: John Prine. In Spite Of Ourselves. Loose Talk.

So long we've been married, life's burdens we've carried
Though faith kept us humble and made our love grow
The plans that we make up
Someone seems to break up but darlin' what else can we do

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone

They say you are leaving that you are deceiving
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them that they're wrong
That loose talk will do harm and hope that the truth they will see

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone

When I go out walkin' there's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart
But, darling, it's not true because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart, yeah

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
