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 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 picking But I lit my first and watched a small kid Playing with a can that he was kicking Then I walked across the street And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken And Lord, it took me back to something that I´d lost Somewhere, somehow along the way
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I´m wishing, Lord, that I was stoned ´Cause there´s something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone And there´s nothing short a´ dying That´s half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down
In the park I saw a daddy With a laughing little girl that he was swinging And I stopped beside a Sunday school And listened to the songs they were singing Then I headed down the street And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing And it echoed through the canyon Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On a Sunday morning sidewalk I´m wishing, Lord, that I was stoned ´Cause there´s something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone And there´s nothing short a´ dying That´s half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down
