Lyrics
It's just eight more miles,
I'm going to say goodbye.
I hate to admit it, but I tried
Those big old highway signs don't tell no lies.
It's just eight more miles,
I'm going to say good bye.
I don't like standing in the rain
It don't help much to ease my pain.
If I stand here much longer I'll go insane.
I don't like dtanding in the rain.
You drove me down the road in the rain,
Your cheating ways were more than I could take.
You put me out to hitchike in the rain'
And I don't like standing in the rain.
I do know why we had to part,
Thank God we were just getting started.
Now I'm standing here all wet and glad we parted.
Cuz I don't like standing in the rain.
I have no need to feel regret.
Got out before it became a wreck.
The rain just helped to clear my head.
I found a good loving woman and I'm set.
I've got a new New Jersey lady,
She's smart and oh so pretty.
She's true you know I'm never going to leave.
She'll always be my baby, I'm in love and feeling happy.
I'm blessed, true loe found me.
Yes she stole my heart,
I know we'll never part.
No way I'll ever leave.
Cuz I don't like standing in the rain.
I'm blessed I'm blessed wo you know I'm blessed.
Together holding hands,
We're wearing wedding bands.
No more standing in the rain.
