Send the Rain

I haven't seen it this bad For quite some time Some years we get lucky And we get by fine But now the rivers dry When that wind starts howlin' It rips the dirt from the ground Blue skies turn to haze As far as I can see Still better than the fires The country side is burning I hear people cry God won't you please Send the rain Look forward to the spring time Hope things start turning green Bring on all the thunder If it comes with the rain But we don't need the lightening I know this will pass Somehow we get through The people here are tough as nails We do what we have to do But it still hurts The country side is burning I hear people cry God won't you please Send the rain The country side is burning I hear people cry God won't you please Send the rain
