John Prine Long Monday Lyrics

Long Monday Lyrics

Long Monday

© John Prine & Keith Sykes 



You and me

Sittin' in the back my memory

Like a honey bee

Buzzin' 'round a glass of sweet Chablis

Radio's on

Windows rolled up

And my mind's rolled down

Headlights shining

Like silver moons

Rollin' on the ground



We made love

In everyway love can be made

And we made time

Look like time

Could never fade

Friday Night

We both made the guitar hum

Saturday made Sunday feel

Like it would never come



Gonna be a long Monday

Sittin' all alone on a mountain

By a river that has no end

Gonna be a long Monday

Stuck like the tick of a clock

That's come unwound - again



Soul to soul

Heart to heart

And cheek to cheek

Come on baby

Give me a kiss

That'll last all week



The thought of you leavin' again

Brings me down

The promise of

Your sweet love

Brings me around



It's gonna be a long Monday

Sittin' all alone on a mountain

By a river that has no end

It's gonna be a long Monday

Stuck like the tick of a clock

That's come unwound - again

And again
