Lyrics
Texas Rain
Verse:
The ice chest is meltin' on the front porch
Sunshine hotter than a blow torch
Corn in the field it's a spittin' dust
Back forty pond, well it's a crackin' crust
We've farmed this land, for a hundred years
The place was built, on Grandpa's sweat and tears
It ain't the first, north Texas drought
But, in the past, somehow it all worked out
Pre-chorus 1:
I see clouds in the sky
Feel some thunder roillin' by
Chorus:
I need some Texas rain
I gotta hear that pitter patter
A million prayers fallin' down
Is all that's really gonna matter
Give me some Texas rain
Verse:
Now there's bills stacked higher than I can count
Not a drop left in my savings account
All the folks in town are in the same boat
I feel some drops on my arm gonna keep us all afloat
Pre-chorus 2:
Now there's clouds in the sky
I won't give up my way of life
CHORUS
Interlude:
Oh Yeah
Bridge
They're drainin' the Colorado
Dryin' up the Rio Grande
I Don't work this farm for money
It's because I love this land
Pre-chorus 3:
Just let the sky open up
Grandpa-could you lend a helping hand?--
CHORUS
Outro
Gonna hear that pitter patter
A million prayers fallin' down
Is all that's really gonna matter
Give me some Texas rain
I need some, Texas Rain
Give me some, give me some
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I need some Texas rain
