It's been a long
Seven months and sixteen days
Since the fields
Have felt a drop of rain
This barren land
Is gonna wilt and turn to dust
The crops won't yield
And there ain't nothin' left for us
So I get down on my knees
I say, Lord, pretty please
Let this dry spell end
God knows I try
I try most every night
But we fight
You turn over on your side
And I'm lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely again tonight
So I get down on my knees
I say, Lord, pretty please
Let this dry spell...
...end up
Bringing a downpour tonight
I need a flash flood
To drown this heavy heart of mine...
So I pray
For the rain
And I'll wait
I'll wait for the lord to make
This dry spell end
