John Prine and Iris DeMent…In Spite of Ourselves

   I love this song,,, yeah, it’s just on the edge of bawdy, but dang it, it’s so much like Vickie and me.. our life is so different, and we love it so!

‘In Spite of Ourselves’

But she’s my baby,
and I’m her honey,
never gonna let her go
In spite of ourselves
We’ll end up a’sittin’ on a rainbow
against all odds
Honey, we’re the big door prize
We’re gonna spite the noses right offa’ our faces
there won’t be nothin’ but big ol’ hearts
a’dancin’ in our eyes
