Lord, it’s been so hot
Thought that I would never stop sweating
Have to peel my clothes off
It’s a never ending sticky feeling
‘til the rain comes and
cools it down so you can live again
‘til the rain comes bringing that ol’ rainy day feelin’
Time stands still on a summer day
when the trees shine green and the sky is gray
Fifteen-twelve or nineteen-seventy
It feels the same in thecCool rain
If you step outside with your steamy skin glistening
The dirt will find you batter you up to fry in the sun
‘til the rain comes to knock the dust down
and cleanse your soul
‘til the rain
Comes and takes you back to a day
when you were ten years old
Sometimes, even the rain can’t save you from the sun
It can fall, fall, but half is lost before it hits the ground
When the shower’s over you look outside
From the concrete and asphalt see the steam rise
It feels worse at first like you’re covered in grease
But, it’s a wet dose that’ll get you by on memories
