John Prine - Long Monday Lyrics






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

    Saw Prine in Old Town, Chicago 1968. He played at The Earl of Old Town, North Ave. and Wells. The world's Love Revolution was on, Vietnam and music. Wide open and you could hear Prine, Ronstadt, all the early rockers. This was their right od passage.A shame it's all gone now...The Earl is a.Walgreens now. Sad....

    Without a doubt one of the greatest song riders of all time. Honest storytelling about real life experiences.

  14. F.... W....

    Great lyrics. I guess the real meaning from Johns songs is mostly between the words.

  15. N.... H....

    I discovered John Prine last year... As a musician, I kick myself that its taken me this long to discover his talent. Since then, I've been learning his songs with thoughts of performing them soon. What an incredible talented man!

    His songs are perfect with a day of beer and chopping wood!

    N.... H....

    without a doubt

    N.... H....

    Northcountry Hermit I envy people that can discover him. The music has never lost its magic but that first time I hear any of his songs blows me away. Like this one for instance, it was hidden from me for some time and when I first heard it not long ago it about made me cry.

    N.... H....

    Been listening to him since I was 14 or 15, and I'm getting towards 60 now. But you know what? One of the beauties of life is that there are always new joys to discover.

  16. T.... H....

    Been a long Monday for sure..

    Come on baby gimme a kiss that it'll last all week!

    M.... t....

    You are lucky. I wanted to see him at the Ryman. Ha! Impossible makes me sad.

  19. R.... D....

    John and I are approaching our final songs of this life and I am so thankful I had him as a fellow passenger.

    R.... D....

    No! No! No! your songs will live forever too!

    R.... D....

    Please take your time

  20. G.... G....
