The Oldest Baby In The World Lyrics - Live - John Prine

She's got the mind of a child 

And a body peaking over the hill 

Well, she would if she could 

And she should but nobody will 

With her nails painted red 

And her hair so unnaturally curled 

Well, I think that she may be 

The oldest baby in the world 

She's tasted the night life 

But it's left her with nothing but hunger 

And all the available men 

Seem to think that they want something younger

But youth is a costume 

And the beauty within lies unfurled 

And I think that she may be 

The oldest baby in the world 

Fast horses win the races 

And Royal Flushes beat Aces 

And everyone's playing to keep 

So let's turn out the lights 

And rock that old baby to sleep 

She loves the sound of the rain 

But you know she's still afraid of the thunder 

She keeps a head full of hope 

And a heart that's so full of wonder 

Photos 

She may look like a woman 

But she's still some daddy's little girl 

And I think that she may be 

The oldest baby in the world 

Yes, I think that she may be 

The oldest baby in the world
