Waiting on the Rain

There's a driveway and a brick mailbox

An empty house with a broken clock

And a water bill that's way past due

The flowers can't push through the dirt

Since the factories left town with the work

But hey, that ain't nothing new

So I, I'm waiting on the rain

Wasting all the hours in my day

Been dry for all these years

Ain't nothing left round here

And I, I'm waiting on the rain

Preacher man He came to town He said

If you lay your money down

Well, I can help you wash away your sins

A holy man knows how to lie

And a soldier still knows how to die and me

I just wanna know how it ends

So I, I'm waiting on the rain

Wasting all the hours in my day

Been dry for all these years

Ain't nothing left round here

And I, I'm waiting on the rain

And I, I'm waiting on the rain

I don't mind the sun

No, I, I don't mind the sun

No, I, I don't mind the sun

When it's for everyone

And I, I'm waiting on the rain

Wasting all the hours in my day

Been dry for all these years

Ain't nothing left round here

And I, I'm waiting on the rain

The end of times is coming soon

But all that's in this empty room

Is the last thing that I said

So fill the taxi to the top

You know we ain't got time to stop

Cause there's mouths that need fed
