Every Time It Starts to Rain

It's been raining here so much It's taking everything we have left To clutch the bitter remains Of a bone-soaked washed out luck Digging in deep this ain't the first time We've been struck I guess I know how to share Guess I know how to pare down When they hand me my bills Said son you're gonna get your fill From these Midwest Hoovervilles I'm not gonna play your game Won't even know my name Keep in mind I'm prone to change Every time it starts to rain Not quite forty days but it's enough To hear me sending curses and praises above I've been working my life Through the mud and the muck Trying to pay these bills, you know, life and such There's only one way to forgive A thousand drinks to forget These small town politics I feel like leaving the sticks behind And taking over a new state of mind I'm not gonna play your game Won't even know my name Keep in mind I'm prone to change Every time it starts to rain It's been raining here so much It's taking everything we have left To clutch
