Well, it hadn't rained in as many Sundays as the preacher he had prayed |
|
But it didn't matter 'cause nobody prayed it anyway |
|
Some danced and some sang |
|
Some threw silver rings |
|
And the corn got yella and the wheat all died |
|
And the sun dried up the springs |
|
When the rains came |
|
The whole town lost it's mind |
|
Poured gasoline down Main Street |
|
And we set it up on fire |
|
When the rains came |
|
How were we to know |
|
We'd held on for so long |
|
And just to let it go |
|
When the rains came |
|
And they called in the state troopers |
|
And they called in the police |
|
And they arrested everybody |
|
My brothers and me |
|
And when we got to court |
|
And they put us on the stand |
|
We just looked at each other |
|
Started laughing once again |
|
'Cause when the rains came |
|
The whole town lost it's mind |
|
Poured gasoline down Main Street |
|
And we set it up on fire |
|
When the rains came |
|
How were we to know |
|
We'd held on for so long |
|
And just to let it go |
|
When the rains came |
|
Some say it's a tragedy |
|
Some say it's a shame |
|
Some say it's the water |
|
We never got to drink |
|
Some blame Jesus |
|
Some blame the rock and roll |
|
I think we were just trying to get |
|
A little bit of control |
|
So, when the rains came |
|
The whole town lost it's mind |
|
Poured gasoline down Main Street |
|
And we set it up on fire |
|
When the rains came |
|
How were we to know |
|
We'd held on for so long |
|
And just to let it go |
|
When the rains came |
|
When the rains came |
|
When the rains came |
|
When the rains came |
|
When the rains came |
