The Accident things Could Be Worse Lyrics by John Prine

The Accident things Could Be Worse Lyrics

    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 light blue sedan
    Hit pamela's passenger side.

    Chorus:

    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?"
    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:
