The Accident (Things Could Be Worse) - John Prine



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 lite blue sedan

who had obviously

been to a bar.



CHORUS:

They don't know how lucky they are

they could have run into that tree

got struck by a bolt of lightning

and raped by a minority.





It was a four way dilemma

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

till Pamela finally tried

just then the man

in the lite blue sedan

hit Pamela's passenger side.





CHORUS





Pamela hit her head on the mirror

Mrs Wlaker got a bump on the knee

the man hit himself

in the face and said

Why does this happen to me?

the neighbors came out

and they gathered about

saying Hey! who hit who anyway?

and the police arrived

at a quarter to five

and pronounced all the victims Okay.





CHORUS
