John Prine - That's the Way That the World Goes Round

I think that this song is about life that passes day by day. Each day can bring
something different but all depends on us. When I listen to this song, the
sentence “The wheel goes round and round” comes to my mind and if we just
wait long enough it's finally our turn and even we are in bad position one day
everything change for better. Life is random.

John Prine - It’s a Big Old Goofy World

The song talks about people’s expectations and dreams, about love and
friendship but I’ve paid attention for little gesture which build love. Love is a
trifle, details, thanks to them we build something that grows, develops and
becomes more beautiful with every gesture. I think the singer wanted to say that.
He calls them “goofy things”.

John Prine - Hello In There

This song is about life turns. Each stage, first childhood, then youth and then
maturity follow each other and this is inevitable. There is nothing we can do
about it. Luck can bring us the acceptance of this turn of things and coming to
terms with what we cannot change or have no influence on.
