Let The Rain Come Down

(Album: Straw In The Wind - 2017)

We all need rain, Lord, the sun sure stings
Somebody string a rattlesnake up
Good Lord, my whole world ran dry
the day that wicked ol' witch said "Bye"

She put a curse on me
One on the river
Now my crops don't grow no more
I've got a hollow heart
A pocket full of nothing
My soul won't rest and my eyes won't pour
Let the rain come down

I should've been long gone, cold turkey
Yet I'm sitting on the front porch stoned
Looking back now, the past was murky
It ain't no wonder why my money's all gone

She put a curse on me
One on the river
Now my crops don't grow no more
I've got a hollow heart
A pocket full of nothing
My soul won't rest and my eyes won't pour
Let the rain come down
Yeah, let the rain come down
Oh, let it rain

Look yonder to the west, I can feel it in my bones
Here comes a hard rain, just a-blacking out the sky
I'd run for shelter if I wasn't me
Better pay heed to the past or wind up dry

She put a curse on me
One on the river
Now my crops don't grow no more
I've got a hollow heart
A pocket full of nothing
My soul won't rest and my eyes won't pour
She put a curse on me
One on the river
Now my crops don't grow no more
I've got a hollow heart
A pocket full of nothing
My soul won't rest and my eyes won't pour
Let the rain come down
Yeah, let the rain come down
