Drinking This Rain/I'm on Fire

With the corn fields as my witness
I've run out of brain
Come on down to the place where I'm drinking
Come on down like the rain
And if you don't come quick
I'm gonna dry up in this world
I think it's all comin' down all cause of a girl
And it's comin' to me like a baseball to a bat
And I'm only hitting 1-18 and I'm wanderin' where you're at

And the oak on the bar
Was like the oak in my heart
And like the oak buried deep down in the sand
I gotta water it hard

And it goes in through my mouth
And it slides into my veins
And it takes away my head and I don't have to feel the same
And my eyes go red
And my skin goes warm
And at the end of the night, I'm just cryin' in my bed

And some call it sick
And some call it pain
And some just laugh at it
But honey it's like the rain
It's like when you're thirsty and there's none in the well
It's like bringin' darkness when darkness has already fell
It's like breaking dreams of a broken man
And nothin' makes it come on down like the rain can

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did go on and leave you all alone
I've got a bad desire
Oh, I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things I don't do
You know I can take you higher
Oh, I'm on fire

It's like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull

At night I wake up with the sheets soakin' wet
and a freight train runnin' through the middle of my head
You can cool my desire
Oh, I'm on fire
Oh, I'm on fire
Oh, I'm on- I'm on fire
