Sunday Morning Coming Down

In the style of

Johnny Cash

Lyrics

well i woke up
sunday mornin'
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 washed 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 songs
i'd been pickin'

but i lit my first
and watched
a small kid
playin' with a can
that he was kickin'

then i walked
across the street
and caught
the sunday smell
of someone's
fryin' chicken

and lord
it took me back
to somethin'
that i lost
somewhere
somehow
along the way

on a sunday mornin'
sidewalk
i'm wishin'
lord
that i was stoned

'cause
there's somethin'
in a sunday
that makes a body
feel alone

and there's nothin'
short of dyin'
that's half
as lonesome
as the sound

of the sleepin'
city sidewalk
and sunday mornin'
comin' down

in the park
i saw a daddy
with a
laughin' little girl
that he was swingin'

and i stopped
beside a
sunday school
and listened
to the songs
they were singin'

then i headed
down the streets
and somewhere
far away
a lonely bell
was ringin'

and it echoed
through
the canyons
like the
disappearin' dreams
of yesterday

on a sunday mornin'
sidewalk
i'm wishin'
lord
that i was stoned

'cause
there's somethin'
in a sunday
that makes a body
feel alone

and there's nothin'
short of dyin'
that's half
as lonesome
as the sound

of the sleepin'
city sidewalk
and sunday mornin'
comin' down
