[00:00:00] The Accident (Things Could Be Worse) (LP Version) - John Prine

[00:00:12] Last night I saw an accident

[00:00:16] On the corner of third and green

[00:00:21] Two cars collided and I got excited

[00:00:25] Just being part of that scene

[00:00:29] It was Mrs Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter

[00:00:34] Pamela was driving the car

[00:00:38] They got hit by a man in a lite blue sedan

[00:00:42] Who had obviously been to a bar

[00:00:47] They don't know how lucky they are

[00:00:51] They could have run into that tree

[00:00:56] Got struck by a bolt of lightning

[00:01:01] And raped by a minority

[00:01:11] It was a four way stop dilemma

[00:01:15] We all arrived the same time

[00:01:20] I yielded to the man to the right of me

[00:01:24] And he yielded it right back to mine

[00:01:29] Well the yield went around and around and around

[00:01:33] Till Pamela finally tried

[00:01:38] Just then the man in the light blue sedan

[00:01:42] Hit Pamela's passenger side

[00:01:46] They don't know how lucky they are

[00:01:51] They could have run into that tree

[00:01:55] Got struck by a bolt of lightning

[00:02:00] And raped by a minority

[00:02:24] Pamela hit her head on the mirror

[00:02:28] Mrs Walker got a bump on the knee

[00:02:33] The man hit himself in the face and said

[00:02:37] Why does this happen to me

[00:02:42] Then the neighbors came out and they gathered about

[00:02:46] Saying hey who hit who anyway

[00:02:50] And the police arrived at a quarter to five

[00:02:55] And pronounced all the victims okay

[00:02:59] But they don't know how lucky they are

[00:03:04] They could have run into that tree

[00:03:08] Got struck by a bolt of lightning

[00:03:12] And raped by a minority
