Well, I wo
ke up Sunday m
ornin'
With no way to
hold my head
that didn't hu
rt.
And the beer I had for breakfast
Wasn't bad, so
I had one mor
e for des-sert
.
Then I fumbled
in my closet
Through my clo
thes and found
my cleanest d
irty shirt.
Then I washed
my face and co
mbed my hair
And stumbled d
own the stairs
to meet the d
ay.
I'd smoked my
brains the nig
ht before
With cigarette
s and songs I'
d been pickin'
.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playin' w
ith a can that
he was kickin
'.
Then I walked
across the str
eet
And caught the
Sunday smell
of someone's f
ryin' chicken.
And, Lord, it
took me back t
o something
That I lost so
mewhere, someh
ow along the w
ay.
On a Sunday mo
rnin' sidewalk
,
I'm wishin', l
ord, that I wa
s stoned.
'Cause there's
something in
a Sunday
That makes a b
ody feel a-lon
e.
And there's no
thin' short of
dyin'
That's half as
lonesome as t
he sound
Of the sleepin
' city sidewal
ks
And Sunday mor
nin' comin' do
wn.
In the park I
saw a Daddy
With a laughin
' little girl
that he was sw
ingin'.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened t
o the songs th
ey were singin
'.
Then I headed
down the stree
ts
And somewhere
far away a lon
ely bell was r
ingin',
And it echoed
through the ca
nyons like a d
isappearin' dr
eams of yes-te
rday.
On a Sunday mo
rnin' sidewalk
,
I'm wishin', l
ord, that I wa
s stoned.
'Cause there's
something in
a Sunday
That makes a b
ody feel a-lon
e.
And there's no
thin' short of
dyin'
That's half as
lonesome as t
he sound
Of the sleepin
' city sidewal
ks
And Sunday mor
nin' comin' do
wn.
