Others that I thought of after pondering a bit, and was amazed at how many awesome openers John Prine wrote:
"Sam Stone came home to his wife and family, after serving in the conflict overseas" ~ Sam Stone, John Prine
"I am an old woman, named after my mother. My old man's another child whose grown old" ~ Angel From Montgomery, John Prine
"I knew a girl who was almost a lady. She had a way with all the men in her life. Every inch of her blossomed in beauty. She was born on the 4th of July" ~ The Great Compromise, John Prine
"It was Christmas in prison and the food was real good. We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood" ~ Christmas in Prison, John Prine
"In an Appalachian Greyhound station, she sits there waiting in a family way" ~ Unwed Fathers, John Prine
"When I was a boy my family would travel down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born. There's a backwards old town that's often remembered so many times that my memories are worn" ~ Paradise, John Prine
