Lyrics

Waitin? for Rain

Standin? in a knee-high corn field listenin? to grandpa?s tale
How this land turned to dust bowl the year the crops all failed
As all the rest headed west he stood his ground in faith
And prayed beneath the scorching? sun Lord please bring the rain

When the chip were down he never gave up
When he felt like runnin? he just got tough
When everybody said he should catch the next train
He said the fields may be dry but I?m waitin? for rain

He said love is like a river windin? through our lives
Sometimes over flowin? sometimes it runs dry
And you know it takes some rain to make that river rise again
So keep your eyes on the skies above and watch the clouds roll in

When the chips are down never give up
When you feel like runnin? just get tough
When everybody says you should catch the next train
Just say the fields may be dry but I?m waitin? for rain

So when loves in doubt and my heart?s in pain
In the midst of a drought when everybody?s tellin? me to catch the next train
I?ll say the fields may be dry but I?m waitin? for rain

When the chips are down never give up
When you feel like runnin? just get tough
When everybody says you should catch the next train
Just say the fields may be dry but I?m waitin?
Oh the fields may be dry but I?m waitin?
Yeah the fields may be dry but I?m waitin?
For rain
