"Sunday Morning Coming Down" lyrics
"Sunday Morning Coming Down"
Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I shaved my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I'd smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and the songs that I'd been a-pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Cussing at a can that he was a-kicking
Then I crossed the empty street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin'
That I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
Of a sleepin' city sidewalks
Sunday morning coming down
In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughin' little girl he was a-swingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singin'
Then I headed back for home
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing Lord I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
Of a sleepin' city sidewalks
Sunday morning coming down

In your daddy's car with the top pulled down
Looking so cool
We came from different sides of the track
