Couldn't Promise You Rain #3

Too proud to leave this house that my dad's dad built
It's not the same since the kids moved out and away
Both my boys and my wife they never got to see the good times
And now I'm wondering if she's gonna stay

Slouched down in my thinking chair
I ain't going anywhere

I never meant let you down
But I did just the same
I promised you love
I couldn't promise you rain

I remember what my dad went through
In the drought of fifty nine
Felt like an eternity till that cloud burst
I'm sitting here hoping god will throw us a lifeline
Cause this one looks even worse

Slouched down in my thinking chair
I ain't going anywhere

I never meant let you down
But I did just the same
I promised you love
I couldn't promise you rain
I couldn't promise you rain

It's getting harder and harder for me to keep believing
When hardly anyone is on your side
I looked up to see the mortgage man arriving
Holdin' out his hand one last time

Slouched down in my thinking chair
I ain't going anywhere

I never meant let you down
But I did just the same
I promised you love without the pain
I couldn't promise you rain
I couldn't promise you rain
I couldn't promise you rain
I couldn't promise you rain
