It sure did rain on that farewell day My town it never seems to shine I waved them years and the childhood tears And sore memories goodbye It sure did rain on that farewell day My town it never seems to shine I waved them years and the childhood tears And sore memories goodbye Walked down the road Gave the one last look My mom, no, she didn't cry Said, my son, go sing your songs Always hold your head high Always hold your head high! Go follow your heart So long for the grey pouring rain! World's for the ones born longing to stray Go follow your heart So long for the grey pouring rain! And I'll be back on some sunny day It sure did rain on that farewell day My town it never seems to shine I stood and watched the flood of lies Wash away so many men's pride Saw them been swallowed By the hail of notes The storm of greed passed me by The grace has truly abandoned us And you still wonder why Do you still wonder why? Go follow your heart So long for the grey pouring rain! World's for the ones born longing to stray Go follow your heart So long for the grey pouring rain And I'll be back on some sunny day Go follow your heart So long for the bygones and for the grey down-pouring rain And I'll be back And I'll be back And I'll be back... ...On some sunny day Hey! On some sunny day, yeah yeah!
