It's been so dry since before the fall The wind is blowing like an old dust bowl This whole town's on a powder keg I feel the smoke running through my head Can't keep the wolf off of my front door Can't dig no well in this kitchen floor One thing I know – it's my belief Only you now darling that can give me relief Your love's like rain, rain, rain Falling down on me It's just like rain, rain, rain A river running to the sea I heard the news coming down the wire To set the countryside all on fire The man said on the morning show You better pack your bags and go But I'm gonna stay here like a stone Until the sun is burning these dry bones I may be buked, I may be scorned But your tide is gonna rise and I will be reborn Going out of my mind I've been confined to misery I would be much obliged I'd be revived if you'd see about me
