Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay examines thirteen songs written by award-winning singer-songwriter John Prine. Though Prine is perhaps best known for his humorous material, it is his more serious compositions that will likely stand the test of time. Many of these songs display variations on the theme of transition, especially the difficult human journey from innocence to experience.
