Bringing On the Weather

Bringin' on the weather, he carves a wake
Through the dark belly of the night with the thunderhead column
Following behind him for the forced march into morning side
Deep in Texas, summer's hotter than she can recall

And she's been dried up lately from the cryin'
Through the alcohol there's the drone of the diesel below
The whiteness of the silence from his radio
Oh, he's a man behind the wheel, pushin' on, she's callin'
Bringin' on the weather with his mind on her and morning side

He measures himself in miles until one day by the laundry wire
She saw the thunderheads and heard, the drone of the diesel below
The whiteness of the silence from his radio
Oh, he's a man behind the wheel, pushin' on, she's callin'
Bringin' on the weather and there's a tired man

Standin' with his girl in the rain but there's a diesel runnin' in the driveway
Don't you know he's got another run to make
But it won't take him far, and at least some rain came
At least some rain came, at least some rain came

Came on with the weather, there's the drone of the diesel below
The whiteness of the silence from his radio
Oh, he's a man behind the wheel, pushin' on, she's callin'
And there's the drone of the diesel below
The whiteness of the silence from his radio
Oh, he's a man behind the wheel, pushin' on, she's callin'
Bringin' on the weather, bringin' on the weather
