---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Oldest Baby in the World - John Prine ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dave S. Email: Tuning: Standard Artist: John Prine Album: Great Days: The John Prine Anthology Disc 2 Year: 1993 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 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 shes still afraid of the thunder She keeps a head full of hope And a heart that’s so full of wonder 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

Cette chanson évoque une femme qui, bien qu’elle ait l’apparence d’une adulte, conserve l’innocence et la curiosité d’un enfant. Elle navigue entre le monde des plaisirs nocturnes et un désir de connexion, mais se heurte à une société qui privilégie la jeunesse. Elle porte en elle l’espoir et l’émerveillement, tout en se sentant parfois vulnérable, semblant être, en quelque sorte, la plus âgée des bébés du monde. Le contexte de la chanson parle de la lutte entre les attentes de la société et l'authenticité intérieure. Elle soulève la question du vieillissement et de la perception de soi, tout en mettant en lumière la beauté cachée qui réside au-delà des apparences. C’est un reflet sur la manière dont nous nous percevons et sommes perçus par les autres.
