Artist: John Prine Album: Anthology Disc 2 Year: 1993
DG I just found out yesterday that Linda goes to Mars AD Every time I sit and look at pictures of used cars DG She'll turn on her radio and sit down in her chair AD And look at me across the room as if I wasn't there
Chorus: DGDG Oh My stars, My Linda's gone to Mars AD Well I wish she wouldn't leave me here alone DGDG Oh My stars! My Linda's gone to Mars AD Well, I wonder if she'd bring me something home.
DG Something, somewhere, somehow took my Linda by the hand AD And secretly decoded our sacred wedding band DG For when the moon shines down up on our happy, humble home AD Her inner space gets tortured by some outer space unknown.
(Repeat Chorus)
Break: DGAD DGAD
DG Now I ain't seen no saucers 'cept the ones upon the shelf AD And if I ever seen one I'd keep it to myself DG For if there's life out there somewhere beyond this life on earth AD Then Linda must have gone out there and got her money's worth.
