[Verse 1]
Where you gonna hide when the mist is gone?
Take it out back and use it in a song
Scream into a pillow so she can't hear you
Drop it in the water and I still miss you
(The master calls back everyone, the master calls back everyone)
[Chorus]
There's a blue oasis
I can almost taste it
(The master calls back everyone, the master calls back everyone)
[Verse 2]
John's on a walk somewhere in Chicago
(The master calls back everyone)
Losing our leaders who you gonna follow
(The master calls back everyone)
Might've been the movies, might've been the lightning
Might've been something much more frightening
(The master calls back everyone, the master calls back everyone)
[Chorus]
There's a blue oasis
I can almost taste it
(The master calls back everyone, the master calls back everyone)
(The master calls back everyone)
[Outro]
John's on a walk somewhere in Chicago
(The master calls back everyone)
John's on a walk somewhere in Chicago
(The master calls back everyone)
John's on a walk somewhere in Chicago
(The master calls back everyone)
John's on a walk somewhere in Chicago
(The master calls back everyone)
John's on a walk somewhere in Chicago
(The master calls back everyone)
John's on a walk somewhere in Chicago
(The master calls back everyone)
John's on a walk somewhere in Chicago
(The master calls back everyone)

My ode to the late John Prine and the midwestern ethos he so perfectly embodied. The song dreams of a Chicago where John can forever and happily wander that great city. It also signifies me growing comfortable again with the acoustic guitar and that power doesn’t always equate to volume.
