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
Then I fumbled through my closet through  
For my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
Than I washed my face and combed my hair and 
Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I'd smoked my brain the night before  
On cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking
But I lit my first and watched 
A small kid playing with a can that he was kicking
Then I walked across the street  
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken
And Lord it took me back to something  
That I lost  somehow somewhere along the way

[Chorus]
On the Sunday morning sidewalk 
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday 
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short of dieing 
Half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk 
Sunday morning coming down

In the park I saw a Daddy  
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school  
And listened to the songs they were singing
Then I headed back for home  
Somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons  
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

[Chorus]
