Lyrics

The sun?s been shinin? about forty days
Old Noah, he?d be happy, but me? I wish it would rain
?Cause all our farm is growin? now is dust?
And the cows are gettin? hungry ?cause we?re runnin? out of hay
I don?t mind hard work, but it seems like all I do is pray
For some mercy from the Farmer?s Bank and Trust
Another way to pay
And forty days of rain

The river?s runnin? low, gasoline?s runnin? high
The dogs are gettin? thirsty, the cistern?s goin? dry
And a penny for a dime is all anyone will pay
So I?m on my knees prayin? for forty days of rain

My kids have all run off to the city chasin? dreams
After five generations, it looks like the end is finally here
Yeah, we?ve used up two-hundred years of luck
There?ve been good times and there?ve been bad times, but nothin? like today
?Cause we?re down two old coon-hounds and one lonely bale of hay,
A worn-out John Deer tractor and a truck
And all I can do is pray
For forty days of rain

The river?s runnin? low, gasoline?s runnin? high
The dogs are gettin? thirsty, the cistern?s goin? dry
And a penny for a dime is all anyone will pay
So The sun?s been shinin? about forty days
Old Noah, he?d be happy, but me? I wish it would rain
?Cause all our farm is growin? now is dust?
And the cows are gettin? hungry ?cause we?re runnin? out of hay
I don?t mind hard work, but it seems like all I do is pray
For some mercy from the Farmer?s Bank and Trust
Another way to pay
And forty days of rain

The river?s runnin? low, gasoline?s runnin? high
The dogs are gettin? thirsty, the cistern?s goin? dry
And a penny for a dime is all anyone will pay
So I?m on my knees prayin? for forty days of rain

My kids have all run off to the city chasin? dreams
After five generations, it looks like the end is finally here
Yeah, we?ve used up two-hundred years of luck
There?ve been good times and there?ve been bad times, but nothin? like today
?Cause we?re down two old coon-hounds and one lonely bale of hay,
A worn-out John Deer tractor and a truck
And all I can do is pray
For forty days of rain

The river?s runnin? low, gasoline?s runnin? high
The dogs are gettin? thirsty, the cistern?s goin? dry
And a penny for a dime is all anyone will pay
So I?m on my knees prayin? for forty days of rain
Yeah, I?m on my knees prayin? for forty days of rain
