He Forgot That It Was Sunday - John Prine[00:00:00]
The motel lights were blinkin'[00:00:21]
On my chartreuse four door Lincoln[00:00:26]
On the dock the fish were stinkin'[00:00:31]
I simply didn't have a care[00:00:37]
And the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels[00:00:42]
The children hum their Christmas carols[00:00:47]
The train tracks all run parallel[00:00:53]
But they'll all meet up one day[00:00:58]
On a dusty pew in a vestibule[00:01:03]
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool[00:01:08]
He's waiting for the next poor fool[00:01:14]
Who forgot that it was Sunday[00:01:19]
We used to tell each other lies[00:01:25]
With our orange plastic button eyes[00:01:30]
In a former life on a motel chair[00:01:35]
I was Charlie Parker's teddy bear[00:01:40]
Yeah me and Bird we'd stay up late[00:01:46]
I used to watch him contemplate[00:01:51]
While his horn would sit by the window and[00:01:56]
Wait till it was time for him to blow it[00:02:00]
On a dusty pew in a vestibule[00:02:07]
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool[00:02:12]
He's waiting for the next poor fool[00:02:17]
Who forgot that it was Sunday[00:02:23]
The only song I ever knew[00:02:49]
Was Moonlight Bay on the Avenue[00:02:54]
These are the tales from the Devil's chin[00:02:59]
Charlie I could've been a contender[00:03:05]
And the old men sit round the cracker barrels[00:03:10]
The children hum their Christmas carols[00:03:15]
The train tracks all run parallel[00:03:21]
But they'll all meet up one day[00:03:26]
On a dusty pew in a vestibule[00:03:31]
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool[00:03:36]
He's waiting for the next poor fool[00:03:42]
Who forgot that it was Sunday[00:03:47]
If forgot that it was Sunday[00:03:52]
