The Rain Came Down

The old man loaded up everything that he owned On a wagon and headed out West The old woman fearlessly faced the unknown 'Cause she figured he knew what was best And they settled down hard on a government grant With six mouths to feed and forty acres to plant And the rain came down Like an angel come down from above An' the rain came down It'll wash you away an' there ain't never enough Fall turned to winter, another year gone Over and over again Some took lives from the land an' moved on Some stayed on to plow it back in And the Good Lord, He giveth and He taketh away And the restless shall go and the faithful shall stay And the rain came down Like an angel come down from above An' the rain came down It'll wash you away an' there ain't never enough And my grand daddy died in the room he was born in Twenty three summers ago But I could've sworn he's beside me this morning When the Sheriff showed up at my door So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man 'Cause you can have the machines but you ain't taking my land And the rain came down Like an angel come down from above An' the rain came down It'll wash you away an' there ain't never enough
