He was a postman for 5 years and spent a couple of years in the army before starting his musical career in the Chicago area. He emerged in 1971 with a highly acclaimed debut album titled John Prine. He and friend Steve Goodman (another folk singer/songwriter) had been minor stars in the Chicago folk scene before being "discovered" by Kris Kristofferson.

Everybody Wants To Feel Like You Lyrics
John Prine
I wake up to a clock thats ringing
Birds are singing on my telephone line
I work all day and I chase my woman
Why dont she chase me sometime?
Everybody wants to be wanted
I mean I aint no scarecrow cop
I dont need no transalazation
I dont need no diddiley bop
Next time tell me that you want me
Put your little foot inside of my shoe
Next time tell me that you need me
Everybody wants to feel like you
I used to love you so hard in the morning
Id make you stutter and roll your eyes
I put your mind on a brief vacation
To the land of the lost surprise
You got a heart that beats like mine love
You got a bell that rings so true
I get this feeling that I got to tiptoe
Round every little thing you do.
