John Prine - The Accident (Things Could Be Worse) lyrics

Your rating:


Last night I saw an accident

on the corner of Third and Green

two cars collided and I got excited

just being part of that scene



It was Mrs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter

Pamela, was driving the car

they got hit by a man in a lite blue sedan

who had obviously been to a bar.



Chorus:

They don't know how lucky they are

they could have run into that tree

got struck by a bolt of lightning

and raped by a minority.



It was a four way stop dilemma 

we all arrived the same time

I yielded to the man to the right of me 

and he yielded it right back to mine

well, the yield went around and around and around 

till Pamela finally tried

just then the man in the light blue sedan

hit Pamela's passenger side.



Chorus:



Pamela hit her head on the mirror

Mrs Walker got a bump on the knee

the man hit himself in the face and said

"Why does this happen to me?"

the neighbors came out

and they gathered about

saying "Hey! who hit who anyway?"

and the police arrived at a quarter to five

and pronounced all the victims "Okay".
