Nelson, Willie - Sunday Morning Coming Down Lyrics






On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing sure to dying half as lonesome as the sound
On a sleepy city sidewalk Sunday morning coming down

Well I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for desert
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stair to meet the day
I'd smoke my brain the night before with cigarettes and songs I'd been a picking
But I lit my first and watched the small kid cussin' at a can that he was kicking
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
The Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to something that I'd lost somewhere somehow along the way
On a Sunday morning sidewalk...
[guitar]
In the park I saw a daddy with the laughing little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school and listened to the songs they were singing
Then I headedback for home and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On a Sunday morning sidewalk...
Coming down coming down coming down coming down

  67. D.... A....

    I love Willie Nelson music. But sorry, (you got to live it to do it justice.). You just have to have been there yourself to hear the soul in the words.

  68. m.... c....

    When mentioning the greats like Willie and Cash. Lets not leave Waylon out.

  69. p.... ....

    Beer for breakfast. That's when you know you're in a hole.

    philastine Lol, last weekend I woke up and had nothing in the house to eat or drink, and saw my day old beer still open. Thirsty, I had a couple sips and thought, “Not bad.”

    (Anchor Steam keeps pretty well.)

  70. R.... F....

    You are not alone. God will always be there.

  71. N.... j....

    Unfortunately I spent six years on the street. This song brings it all back. I'm truly grateful to God.

  72. J.... R....

    This song makes me cry, but it's beautiful.

  73. d.... S....

    Great song and wonderful rendition. But I can't help but wonder: Dying is "lonesome"? ;)

  74. C.... S....

    Nobody tells a story like willy
    just look in his eyes and see the pain and passion of life
    it takes to a place I long to be.

  75. J.... B....

    Thanks for this.

  76. F.... M....

    One love one heart for all. Respect from Australia

    Thank You Rhonda GOD BLESS

  84. R.... D....

    this song you can find on some Willie Nelson cd"s. It"s one of my willie songs that i adore. It hurts me every time i hear it. I also like the Original version from Kris Kristofferson, also one of the greatest singer songwriters. Where is the good country these days, that make you die from emotion, are there no more feelings any more in this oh so hard hard fucking world?

  85. B.... ....

    Way to go, Rhonda! I did not know that Nelson had "willied" this one; love the Cash version, of course, but the instrumentation was kind of "pop." This one slays! If this song doesn't grab the deep part of your soul, then you ain't got one.

  86. R.... S....

    one of the few times i like the cover better than the original version-right on Willie

  87. A.... G....

    I LOVE YOU WILLY. YOUR MUSIC BRINGS JOY TO MY VERY SOUL

  88. l.... o....

    Love hearing this song! ❤️
