“Crooked Piece of Time” by John Prine from the album Bruised Orange [Intro]        /            [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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]        /            [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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]        /                   /            [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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
