Lyrics

John Prine in the afternoon Writers Tears from nine till two Spilling on the page More last week than Yesterday Don't tell me to hold on Like some old water tower On the edge of town, on the edge of town Looking down down down I been waving my hands in the air Oh for days now Sorrow just sits and stares Wearing that crown crown Sometimes I wonder If I count to three If I were to tap my heels Could I be worthy John Prine in the afternoon Writers Tears from nine till two Spilling on the page More last week than Yesterday Sea of thorns across my feet Barricades and old concrete Lion in a cage Oh the truth gets in the way Sometimes I think back I think back to ninety three Such a different world When you and me Would spend the afternoon Down at the Surf n Tide Photo in black and white With your eyes so bright and wide I couldn't help but smile Watching Lenny play Laying it down Always something real to say John Prine in the afternoon Writers Tears from nine till two Spilling on the page More last week than Yesterday Sea of thorns across my feet Barricades and old concrete Lion in a cage Oh the truth gets in the way Blue skies and butterflies All things you try and hold on to With both hands Squeeze tight but time Keeps moving on Keeps moving on Keeps moving John Prine in the afternoon Writers Tears from nine till two Spilling on the page More last week than Yesterday Sea of thorns across my feet Barricades and old concrete Lion in a cage Oh the truth gets in the way
