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
