[Verse 1] [Jobn Prine]
[C]She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
[F]She looks down her nose at money
[C]She gets it on like the easter bunny
[G]She's my baby I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her [C]go
[Verse 2] [Iris DeMent]
[C]He ain't got laid in a month of sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
[F]He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
[C]Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
[G]He's my baby, And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him [C]go
[Cborus]
[C]In spite of [F]ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a [C]rainbow
Against all [G]odds
Honey, we're the big door [C]prize
We're gonna [F]spite our noses
Right off of our [C]faces
There won't be nothin' but big old [G]hearts
Dancin' in our [C]eyes.
[Instrumental] C F C F C F C G
[Verse 3] [Jobn Prine]
[C]She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
[F]She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
[C]Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
[G]She takes a lickin' And keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her [C]go.
[Verse 4] [Iris DeMent]
[C]He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie
[F]Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
[C]Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
[G]He's my baby I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him [C]go
[Cborus]
[C]In spite of [F]ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a [C]rainbow
Against all [G]odds
Honey, we're the big door [C]prize
We're gonna [F]spite our noses
Right off of our [C]faces
There won't be nothin' but big old [G]hearts
Dancin' in our [C]eyes.
There won't be nothin' but big old [G]hearts
Dancin' in our [C]eyes.
[Outro](spoken)
[C]In spite of [F]ourselves,
we'll end up sittin on a [C]rainbow.
Against all [G]odds,
honey we're the big door [C]prize, We're gonna [F]spite
Our noses right off our [C]faces,
there won't be nothing but our big old [G]hearts
Dancing in our [C]eyes
