Saddle In The Rain
John Prine
Saddle In The Rain John Prine [Intro] [Verse] I wish I hope I wonder Where you’re at so metimes Is y our back against the wall? Or just ac ross the line Have you been sta nding in the rain Reciting nursery rh ymes Trying to re call some long lost kind of pe ace of mind Peace of m ind Try spending the n ight sometime All alone in a fr ozen room Afterneath you’ve l ain Your saddle in the r ain [Instrumental] [Verse] I dreamed they locked God up Down in my bas ement And he wai ted there for me To have this acci dent So he could dr ink my wine And eat me like a sacra ment And I just st ood there like I do Then I came and w ent I came and w ent Like a bird in a for eign sky Couldn’t even s ay goodbye Or come and share the p ain My Saddle’s in the r ain. La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la [Instrumental] [Verse] I saw a friend who doesn’t know If I’m his fri end just yet His eyes and m outh were widely open And his j aw was set Like he’ ell off cliff And hadn’t hit the bo ttom yet I wish he wo uldn’t pull those things on me Without a n et Without a n et I had him up to the ho use one time And we was having a re al good time Then he went and la in His saddle in the r ain La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la [Instrumental] [Verse] In a lau ndromat not too far from the Al amo Sits a g irl who stole my records very lo ng ago And she w ishes wants and washes out those di rty clothers As she sh uts her eyes and dreams about her O ne-Eyed Joe One-Eyed J oe Car parked on a di rty road Heaven knows the lo ad she pulled Couldn’t take the st rain A saddle in the r ain [Instrumental]
