John Prine is definitely underrated. He has a talent to put obvious meanings in such poetic form. My favorite line is "Sweet Songs never last too long on broken radios." Does anyone know what "little pitchers have big ears" would mean?

"Little pitchers have big ears, don't stop to count the years, sweet songs never last to long on broken radios"
I see this as meaning that children hear, see and understand more than we may give them credit for, regardless of their age(years). Although there may be "sweet" moments in a broken home, like a broken radio, the sweet song(s) don't last long

it's an idiom. 'Little pitchers have big ears' means that children hear more and understand the world around them better than many adults realize.
