Shine On Rainy Day

(album: The Lonely, The Lonesome & The Gone - 2017)

I've loved strangers
Dodged deals and dangers
Searching for my own little piece
From the countryside to the slick city streets
And I've missed my hometown
Been high and low, dear
Learned every which way of the game how
Some things do and some don't change

It's safe to say
That I'm still crazy over you
Your love, it gets me through
When I'm stuck in life's Krazy Glue

Ain't it funny how a little thunder
Can make you start to wonder
Should you swim or just go under
And ain't it funny how you learn to pray
When your blue skies turn gray
When there's nothing left to say
Shine on, rainy day

A friend once told me
He said, "You sound so lonely
All these cheating, leaving done-me-wrongs
Have you ever heard of a happy song?"
Well, offended I sat down my glass
Smiled and let the moment pass
Tab's on me if you think I'm lying
Laughing ain't a pleasure till you know about crying

Well, ain't it funny how a little thunder
Will make start to wonder
Should she swim or just go under
Ain't it funny how you learn to pray
When your blue skies turn gray
When there's nothing left to say
Shine on, rainy day
Shine on, rainy day
