John Prine - Crooked Piece of Time lyrics
[John Prine - Crooked Piece of Time lyrics]
Things got rough things got tough
Things got harder than hard
We were just trying to make
A livin' in our backyard
We were born too late, died to soon
Anxiety's a terrible crime
If you don't come now, don't come at all
'Cause it's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it
Was a crooked piece of time
Yesterday morning an ill wind came
Blew your picture right out
Of the picture frame
Even blew the candle out
From underneath the flame
Yesterday morning an ill wind came
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it
Was a crooked piece of time
Things got rough things got tough
Things got harder than hard
We were just trying to make
A livin' in our backyard
We were born too late, died to soon
Anxiety's a terrible crime
If you don't come now, don't come at all
'Cause it's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it
Was a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it
Was a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time
Things got harder than hard
We were just trying to make
A livin' in our backyard
We were born too late, died to soon
Anxiety's a terrible crime
If you don't come now, don't come at all
'Cause it's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it
Was a crooked piece of time
Yesterday morning an ill wind came
Blew your picture right out
Of the picture frame
Even blew the candle out
From underneath the flame
Yesterday morning an ill wind came
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it
Was a crooked piece of time
Things got rough things got tough
Things got harder than hard
We were just trying to make
A livin' in our backyard
We were born too late, died to soon
Anxiety's a terrible crime
If you don't come now, don't come at all
'Cause it's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it
Was a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it
Was a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time
