Expecting Rain

Any day now, any day now

I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone.

Everybody's gone but you and me
and I can't be the last to leave.

But if you ride back and I am left

I wish I was there to help her
But I'm not there, I'm gone.

No use in worrying, 'cause the world gone wrong

And I still do not know
What it was that I've done wrong.

Only one thing I did wrong, stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Where the sun never sets and the trees hung low.

I wish I was back in the city.

Don't even hear the murmur of a prayor.

I'm talking to myself in a monologue.

You want to talk to me, go ahead and talk.

There's always some new stranger in the night to lend a sympathetic ear.

I'd forever talk to you
but soon my words
they would turn into

worthless foam from the mouth

anyway it wouldn't ring true

can't speak the sounds that show no pain

Keep a-talkin baby, til you run outta alibis

Well I'm tired of talking; I'm tired of trying to explain

What was it you wanted
You can tell me, I'm back,
We can start it all over
Get it back on the track,
You got my attention,
Go ahead, speak.

Are you talking to me?

So let us not talk falsely now...

Are you the same person that was here before?
Whatever you wanted slipped out of my mind,
Would you remind me again, if you'd be so kind.

I told you, baby, right to your head....

I think we better talk this over
Maybe when we both get sober

I'm drunk all the time.
It levels my head and eases my mind.

i got a woman shes so mean
she sticks my boots in the washing machine

I say, "Lord, have mercy, mama

May the Lord have mercy on us all.

But I know God has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated.

God knows there won't be no more water....but fire, next time.
