What a beautiful rendition of this John Prine classic, the live energy and folksy vibe really transport me to a paradise of my own.

"Paradise" is a song written by John Prine for his father, and recorded for his 1971 debut album, John Prine. Prine also re-recorded the song for his 1986 album, German Afternoons.

This Version was recorded live at Theo's Pizza Pup in Miramar Beach Florida, 2005 By: The LOCO LOCALS / Blue Lew and Nora and Friends

Lyrics...

Beautiful, beautiful you struck me down,
Unleashed your weapons and here I lay now.
I'm torn to pieces with a smile on my face,
A simple distraction at the end of the race.

Beautiful, beautiful you took your time,
Picking your moments in the blink of an eye.
I'm lost without you I'm so glad you're here,
A simple distraction replacing the fear.

I'm losing control in the heat of the day,
Where once I was lonesome too scared to play.
You ran with the wolf pack, you flew with the stars,
I stood in awe as you tore me apart.

Yesterday's gone but the future looks bright,
You've changed my mind if only for tonight.
Lovin' you sweetly and lovin' you true,
My heart's beating faster if only you knew.

Beautiful, beautiful you still hang around,
I don't have money and I don't have the time right now.
I watched you floatin' in a state of grace,
Love is just a simple twist of fate.

Beautiful, beautiful holdin' my life in your hands,
You rock me like a baby till I understand.
Intoxicate my senses to a state of bliss,
The remedy enveloped in a single kiss.

I ain't fat I've just got thick skin,
It protects me from the world that we're livin' in.
I roll with the punches I duck 'n' dive,
Got my motor tickin' over tryin' to stay alive.

Yesterday's gone but the future looks bright,
You've changed my mind if only for tonight.
Lovin' you sweetly and lovin' true,
My heart's beating fast if only you knew.

Beautiful
