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
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
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

How can you write a song so perfectly?
Hunts Lake N Y thanks Kate
Modern day Johnny Mercer. Thanks for all the memories John,
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....
pure Prine perfection
Good tune !!!!!
John is not the cure for depression but he helps stave off the suicide.
Ha ha amen
يلعنم الدفء اللي بهالاغنية
Not had the pleasure of his music before thank Rs for the link, like it.
Without a doubt one of the greatest song riders of all time. Honest storytelling about real life experiences.
Great lyrics. I guess the real meaning from Johns songs is mostly between the words.
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!
without a doubt
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.
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.
Been a long Monday for sure..
Come on baby gimme a kiss that it'll last all week!
Just saw him tonight...have loved him since the seventies....See him every time he is in Portland....Love John Prine....long may he live...
You are lucky. I wanted to see him at the Ryman. Ha! Impossible makes me sad.
John and I are approaching our final songs of this life and I am so thankful I had him as a fellow passenger.
No! No! No! your songs will live forever too!
Please take your time
My fave song-wrighter!
My Dad turned me on to John Prine @18 it's been a 48 yr Love Affair.
i hope it was as good for you as it was for me ;)
One of the greatest songwriters of all time. Look who played with him.... Kris Kirstofferson who discovered him, Bruce, The Heartbreakers, Bobby Zimmerman (Dylan), Neil......
Ain't it great his best selling album is his most recent.
@nashville slim Yes indeed Nashville Slim. He just continues to blaze trails. A Classic.
Lonesome Friends of Science...example of what you speak of.
@Jim when I get to heaven is awesome.
Prine is as honest as it gets :)
24 ppl don't like this?
24 people im glad I dont know. This is great!
The English language has thousands of words that we don’t use. Of the few we do use, John Prine puts them in the right place every time
@Howard Spencer Yes!
Simply put...that is the best review of JP ever. Thanks, you made my day!
A tight place brings out true character, think about it!!!😎
John Powers I could not said anything better than that.
Beautifully said. Saw him again Saturday night and felt so good until this morning. Now I'm back in a half an inch a water
Headlights shining like silver moons rolling on the ground.
dont know why, but every time i hear that line it gives me chills
#GodLike
So happy. Everything will always be here, here? her here rra hrre ...
awsome!!
Friday night, we both made the guitar hum
Saturday made Sunday feel like it would never come
I want a love like this.
What a great lyric
My Mom and i just saw him 10-31-15 at the San Diego Civic Center. Amazed how many folks, including myself flew in from around the country to see this amazing partnership. Have admired both over 30 years and that only strengthens..
I just saw him with Kris Kristofferson at The Pearl at The Palms in Vegas on Friday 10-30-2015. .... Genius never ages, genius just wizens. My word, what a true troubadour. 💛👏
Had to be awesome
I like this song.
Cyber hugs!
Maybe Alison Krauss...
Harmony vocal is Mindy Smith.
Who's doing back-up vocals on this cut? Is it Emmylou?
I believe it's Mindy Smith.
I think it's Iris DeMent
@leslie Mendson
the realest of deals.
Frank Deal more than ever.
Well put brother. I couldn't improve that one.
Got dam right
good stuff.
so cool
Gorgeous song from an American treasure.
Saw him and Rosanne Cash in New York earlier this month. Fantastic show, he is still funny as hell and can still pick it and sing it. For his age, he is in good condition for the condition he is in!!!
As great a song writer, story teller and artist as Cash...I love them both!
hes a songteller!!!!!!!!!!!!
