Reminds me of:
She was a levelheaded dancer on the road to alcohol,
I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal.
Well, she pressed her chest against me about the time the jukebox broke.
She gave me a peck on the back of the neck, and these are the words she spoke.
Blow up your TV, throw away your paper, go to the country, build you a home.
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches, try and find Jesus on your own.
I sat there at the table, and I acted real naive.
Cause I knew that topless lady, she had something up her sleeve.
She danced around the room awhile and she did the hoochy coo.
Yeah, singing a song all night long, telling me what to do.
Blow up your TV, throw away your paper, go to the country, build you a home.
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches, try and find Jesus on your own.
Well, I was young and hungry, and about to leave that place.
Just as I was going. she looked me in the face.
I said "You must know the answer," she said "No, but I'll give it a try."
To this day we've been living our way, here is the reason why.
We blew up your TV, threw away your paper, went to the country, build us a home.
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches, they all found Jesus on their own.
I think I was about 12 years old when a buddy of mine took me into a little store down the street from where he lived.?ÿ It was called The Mix Shop.?ÿ It stocked soft drinks, ice, adult beverages, comic books and adult publications plus "funny" stuff.?ÿ One item I remember seeing there was a small plastic package containing what looked similar to a large version of the little soft dabbing pad that one might see in a woman's compact.?ÿ It was labeled, "Birth Control Pill".?ÿ The instructions were that, once out on the date with Mr. Wonderful, the young lady was to place it against the inside of one knee and hold it firmly in place with the other knee until the date was over.
@eddycreek "Well you may see me tonight with an illegal smile".?ÿ "Muhlenberg County" aka "Paradise".?ÿ In the mid 1970's John Prine was an almost every night listen on the turntable.

One of the first 8 tracks I bought was of his greatest hits. Drive by ??Paradise? every time we go see our daughter in Lexington.?ÿ
I got a version of it several generations removed from John Prine. It'd been "cleaned up".
When I googled some of the words, Prine showed up.
Denver did that song, a little changed. Then some church folks changed it alot.
Prine was notorious for things that cause me to shudder.?ÿ
