PRAY FOR RAIN

My neighbor like his grass to be bright green. I’m pretty sure that he dislikes my weeds

Another has three satellite dishes. And still I don’t think he gets what he wishes

I know a guy with more money than god. But he’s lonely and he feeds steak to his dog

The couple down the street they fight like hell. Yet still they plan to ring those wedding bells

 

I was thinking just the other day, natures got a funny way,

Of reminding us that we are all the same: In a dry spell, everybody prays for rain

 

Some like to drive big black Cadillacs, others want ‘em red and to fast

My mama likes to dress up nice and neat, so I embarrass her by running in bare feet

People like to talk about the weather. They change their minds just like they change their sweaters

And I know some obsessed with the TV, they think it’s real and real life is a dream

 

I was thinking just the other day, natures got a funny way,

Of reminding us that we are all the same: In a dry spell, everybody prays for rain

 

One mans wants to be Chairman of the Board, another thinks this life would be a total bore

I know a guy that never leaves his home. You can’t go in, and gotta call him on the phone

My friends they love to argue late into the night, oh man how they can fuss and they can fight

Me, I’m a lover, I don’t care who’s right, long as I can play my little songs all night

 

In a dry spell, everybody prays for rain.
