John Prine - Saddle in the Rain lyrics
[John Prine - Saddle in the Rain lyrics]
I wish, I hope
I wonder where you're at sometimes
Is your back against the wall
Or just across the line?
Have you been standing in the
Rain reciting nursery rhymes?
Trying to recall some long lost
Kind of peace of mind peace of mind
Try spending the night sometime all
Alone in a frozen room
Afterneath you've lain
Your saddle in the rain
I dreamed they locked God up
Down in my basement
And he waited there for me
To have this accident
So he could drink my wine and
Eat me like a sacrament
And I just stood there like I do
Then I came and went
I came and went, like a bird in a foreign sky
Couldn't even say goodbye
Or come and share the pain
My saddle's in the rain
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la ah la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I saw a friend who doesn't know
If I'm his friend just yet
His eyes and mouth were widely open
And his jaw was set
Like he'd fell off a cliff and
Hadn't hit the bottom yet
I wish he wouldn't pull those things
On me without a net without a net
I had him up to the house one time
We was having a real good time
Then he went and lain, his saddle in the rain
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la ah la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
In a laundromat not too far from the Alamo
Sit's a girl who stole my
Records very long ago and she wishes
Wants and washes out those dirty clothes
As she shuts her eyes and
Dreams about her one-eyed Joe one-eyed Joe
Car parked on a dirty road
Heaven knows the load she pulled
Couldn't take the strain
A saddle in the rain
I wonder where you're at sometimes
Is your back against the wall
Or just across the line?
Have you been standing in the
Rain reciting nursery rhymes?
Trying to recall some long lost
Kind of peace of mind peace of mind
Try spending the night sometime all
Alone in a frozen room
Afterneath you've lain
Your saddle in the rain
I dreamed they locked God up
Down in my basement
And he waited there for me
To have this accident
So he could drink my wine and
Eat me like a sacrament
And I just stood there like I do
Then I came and went
I came and went, like a bird in a foreign sky
Couldn't even say goodbye
Or come and share the pain
My saddle's in the rain
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la ah la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I saw a friend who doesn't know
If I'm his friend just yet
His eyes and mouth were widely open
And his jaw was set
Like he'd fell off a cliff and
Hadn't hit the bottom yet
I wish he wouldn't pull those things
On me without a net without a net
I had him up to the house one time
We was having a real good time
Then he went and lain, his saddle in the rain
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la ah la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
In a laundromat not too far from the Alamo
Sit's a girl who stole my
Records very long ago and she wishes
Wants and washes out those dirty clothes
As she shuts her eyes and
Dreams about her one-eyed Joe one-eyed Joe
Car parked on a dirty road
Heaven knows the load she pulled
Couldn't take the strain
A saddle in the rain
