Ring of Fire The Musical movie - Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down lyrics

rate me

Song by Johnny Cash<br /><br>

Well, I woke up Sunday morning <br>

With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. <br>

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, <br>

So I had one more for dessert. <br>

Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes <br>

And found my cleanest dirty shirt. <br>

Then I washed my face and combed my hair <br>

And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day. <br>

<br>

I'd smoked my mind the night before <br>

With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking. <br>

But I lit my first and watched a small kid <br>

Playing with a can that he was kicking. <br>

Then I walked across the street <br>

And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken. <br>

And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost <br>

Somewhere, somehow along the way. <br>

<br>

On a Sunday morning sidewalk, <br>

I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. <br>

'Cause there's something in a Sunday <br>

That makes a body feel alone. <br>

And there's nothing short a' dying <br>

That's half as lonesome as the sound <br>

Of the sleeping city sidewalk <br>

And Sunday morning coming down. <br>

<br>

In the park I saw a daddy <br>

With a laughing little girl that he was swinging. <br>

And I stopped beside a Sunday school <br>

And listened to the songs they were singing. <br>

Then I headed down the street, <br>

And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing, <br>

And it echoed through the canyon <br>

Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday. <br>

<br>

On a Sunday morning sidewalk, <br>

I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. <br>

'Cause there's something in a Sunday <br>

That makes a body feel alone. <br>

And there's nothing short a' dying <br>

That's half as lonesome as the sound <br>

Of the sleeping city sidewalk <br>

And Sunday morning coming down.<br>

<br>
