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
Than I fumble through my closet for
my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
and I shaved my face and combed my hair
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I'd smoked my brain the night before
and cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'
but I lit my first and watched a small kid
cussin' at a can that he was kicking
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
the sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
and it took me back to somethin' that
I'd lost somehow somewhere along away
On a sunday mornin' sidewalks
wishing Lord that I was stoned
'cause there is something in a sunday
that makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
half as lonesome as the sound
on the sleepin' city side walks
Sunday mornin' comin' down
In the park I saw a daddy with
a laughing little girl who he was swingin'
and I stopped beside a sunday school
and listened to the song that they were singin'
Then I headed back for home and
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
and it echoed thru the canyon like
the disepparing dreams of yesterday.

On the Sunday mornin' sidewalk
wishin' Lord that I was stone
'cause there's somethin' in Sunday
that makes a body feel alone
and there's nothing short of dyin'
half as lonesome as the sound
of a sleepin' city sidewalk
Sunday mornin' comin' down
In the park I saw a daddy
with a laughing little girl that he was swingin'

and I headed back for home
and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
and it echoed through the canyon
like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
