lirik lagu john prine - the accident (things could be worse) [live at the other end]
[intro]
this is a song about, uh, an automobile accident
they’re, they’re gettin’ like, they’re getting more popular than i thought they were going to be
when i wrote this tune i had no idea
there’s part of the song, a real small part, you can just skip over it, you probably will anyway, so
it’s not about automobile accidents
it’s about a girl i knew, uh, in high school, uh
i knew, i knew her real, real good
i knew everything she did
i knew how she was gonna smile
i knew how she was gonna dress the next day
she wore a sailor suit on fridays all the time, you know?
she didn’t know me at all
[verse 1]
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 light blue sedan
who had obviously been to a bar
[chorus]
and they don’t know how lucky they are
they could have ran into that tree
got struck by a bolt of lightning
and raped by a minority
[verse 2]
it was a four~way stop dilemma
and 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
’til pamela finally tried
just then the man in the light blue sedan
hit pamela’s passenger side
[chorus]
and they don’t know how lucky they are
they could have ran into that tree
got struck by a bolt of lightning
and raped by a minority
[interlude]
this is the news the next day
[verse 3]
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?”
then the neighbors came out and they gathered about
saying, “hey, who hit who anyway?”
and the police arrived at a quarter to five
and pr~nounced all the victims okay
[chorus]
but they don’t know how lucky they are
they could have ran into that tree
got struck by a bolt of lightning
and raped by a minority
