Waiting for the Rain

Wrote your name in dust on my driveway

Read it every day until it's washed away

Weatherman says that's all in vain, babe

just go about your business

Keep waiting for the rain

Helped a neighbor load hay into his barn

Talked about the weather, the cattle and the farm

A tanker truck of water, just to grow a pound of grain

Just going 'bout our business, and waiting for the rain

Waiting for the rain, listening for a thundercloud

Waiting for the rain, praying silently out loud

Not much to lose, everything to gain,

Just going about our business, waiting for the rain

Grapes grow sweeter when they have no water

Time goes slower, when the days get hotter

Weatherman says, don't you worry brother.

Just mind your own business, keep waiting for the rain

California's burning come September

Fire turns the hills turn to ash and ember

I'll write your name in dust time and time again

time goes by shall I, stop waiting for the rain?

Waiting for the rain, listening for a thundercloud

Waiting for the rain, praying silently out loud

Not much to lose, everything to gain,

Just going about our business, waiting for the rain

Going 'bout our business and waiting for the rain
