John Prine - Saddle In The Rain Lyrics
I wish, I hope, I wonder
Where you're at sometimes
Is your back against the wall?
Or just across the line
Have you been standing in the rain
Trying to recall
Some long lost kind of peace of mind
Peace of mind
Try spending the night sometime
All alone in a frozen room
Afterneath you've lain
Your Saddle in the rain
I dreamed they locked God up
Down in my basement
To have this accident
So he could drink my wine
And eat me like a sacrament
And I just stood there like I do
Then I came and went
I came and went
Like a bird in a foreign sky
Couldn't even say good bye
Or come and share the pain
My Saddle's in the rain
I saw a friend who doesn't know
If I'm his friend just yet
His eyes and mouth were widely open
And his jaw was set
Like he'd fell off a cliff
And hadn't hit the bottom yet
I wish he wouldn't pull those things on me
Without a net
Without a net
I had him up to the house one time
And we was having a real good time
Then he went and lain
His Saddle in the rain
In a laundromat not too far
From the Alamo
Sits a girl who stole my records
Very long ago
And she wishes, wants and washes
Out those dirty clothes
As she shuts her eyes and dreams
About her one eyed Joe
One eyed Joe
Car parked on a dirty road
Heaven knows the load she pulled
Couldn't take the strain
A Saddle in the rain

John Prine Saddle In The Rain Comments
Love John, disco sucks.
Good thing that young man is still the man he was...
So he kept drinking my wine and eating me alive with sacrament.
Genius.
Excellent as always!
Love this song, wish more of JP’s songs were like this one!
Aye aye to that. The sophistication of these images in the lyrics are truly exceptional and more than the wonderful Prine lyrics people were used to. At first the tempo and all that d*mn brass jarred for me, but these are some of the songs I love to play. Another winner!...His big Irish fan.
Computer e literally it !? Later
Come and share the pain
Heaven knows the load she pulled .
I think he might be talking about Hunter S Thompson, as the friend. 1:39 H.S. Thompson had a girlfriend Annette that acted as his assistant, and he was commonly uncontrollable without Annette (a net) present. Prine ran in the same circle as Warren Zevon, who was a close friend of Thompsons. I wonder if Thompson came over to Prines, they were having a real good time, getting high, then Thompson got out of control, went way over the edge, took to much, John Prine was very bothered that Thompson dosed at his house without Annette there. ?
great theory
my dad introduced me to JP, he is awesome (both of them)
Good common sense
Meh, songs ok i guess. ;)
this man opened my eyes true
wanted to hear some john prine. got a best of cd for christmas, and this song sticks in my head hard. country and a little funkyness, and the lyrics... god damn!
I know this comment is super old and I would probably label him country, when describing him to someone ignorant of him, but he's like one of those greats that can't really be defined by one or even multiple different labels... other than John Prine, I just don't think he truly fits anywhere else; unless it's a label as one of the most underrated story/song writers of the 1900's.
This man was way to young to write these types of songs.A master song writer!
Love Prime Prine!
this is my FAVE song!
The album you want to look for is Prime Prine!
Doesn't have Paradise, or Far from me,or angel from montgomery on it
great song
Greatest songwriter ever!
lol i'm the friend that fell
I must be the other half.
I thought it was another singer when I heard the first notes of this song!
finally!!! thanks mate
I am literally almost half of these views
