The Accident Lyrics - 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 stop 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:
