3.47 mile ruck to John Prine’s boyhood home in Maywood at 1110 S. First Ave. Fellowship and discussion based on lyrics from John Prine songs and his son Tommy Prine  

1. *Sam Stone* — John Prine
“There is a hole in Daddy’s arm where all the money goes.”
What did your dad cope with that you did not understand as a kid.

2. *Paradise* — John Prine
“Memories, they cannot be boughten.”
What family memories do you hold tight and why.

3. *Angel from Montgomery* — John Prine
“Old trees grow stronger.”
What did your dad teach you about aging with grace.

4. *Angel from Montgomery* — John Prine
“Sweet songs never last too long.”
What memories feel fragile but meaningful to you.

5. *I Remember Everything* — John Prine
“I still miss someone.”
Who do you miss right now and what part of them lives on in you.

6. *Souvenirs* — John Prine
“Broken hearts and dirty windows make life hard to see.”
What blurred your view when you were young and what clears it now.

7. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“I do not want to move the shoes I keep in the back of my car.”
What small gift or object from your dad stayed with you.

8. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“By the way I wish I stayed and unpacked all of my bags.”
What do you wish you had said or done before life got busy.

9. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“All the times I will always miss are the times we never had.”
What moments do you wish you could get back.

10. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“Can I breathe all of me into a bottle and throw it in the sea.”
If you could send your dad one message, what would it be.

11. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“People say I look just like you.”
What part of your dad lives in your face or your mannerisms.

12. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“All those nights I should have just sat down and played spades.”
What moments did you miss that you now wish you stayed present for.

13. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“Do not keep all that in your heart son, it will drag you down.”
What advice from your dad gained new meaning as you grew.

14. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“It is still hard to hear your voice in the songs we used to sing.”
What sound, song, or place brings your dad back.

15. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“Some things cannot ever change.”
What truths about your dad stayed with you.

16. *By the Way* — Tommy Prine
“There is a part of you that will remain.”
What part of your dad remains in you and how do you pass it on.
