John Prine Crooked Piece of Time Lyrics

Things got rough, things got tough,
Things got harder than hard
We were just tryin' to make a living
In our back yard
We were born too late, died too soon.
Anxiety's a terrible crime
If you can't come now, don't come at all
'Cause it's a crooked piece of time
horus
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all,
it was a crooked piece of time
Instrumental
Yesterday morning, an ill wind came
Blew your picture right out of the picture frame
Even blew the candle out from underneath the flame
Yesterday morning an ill wind came
horus
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all,
it was a crooked piece of time
Instrumental
Things got rough, things got tough,
Things got harder than hard
We were just tryin' to make a living
In our back yard
We were born too late, died too soon.
Anxiety's a terrible crime
If you can't come now, don't come at all
'Cause it's a crooked piece of time
horus
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all,
it was a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all,
it was a crooked piece of time
it was a crooked piece of time
