THE OLD MAN LOADED UP EVERYTHING THAT HE OWNED
IN WAGON AND HEADED OUT WEST
THE OLD WOMAN FEARLESS TO FACE THE UNKNOWN
CAUSE SHE FIGURED HE KNEW WHAT WAS BEST
AND THEY SETTLED DOWN HARD ON A GOVERNMENT GRANT
WITH 6 MOUTHS TO FEED AND 40 ACRES TO PLANT
AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN
LIKE AN ANGEL SENT DOWN FROM ABOVE
AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN
WELL ONCE IT STARTS THERE AIN'T NEVER ENOUGH
FALL TURNED TO WINTER AND ANOTHER YEAR GONE
OVER AND OVER AGAIN
SOME TOOK THEIR LIVES FROM THE LAND AND MOVED ON
SOME STAYED ON TO PLOW IT BACK IN
AND THE GOOD LORD GIVITH AND HE TAKETH AWAY
AND THE RESTLESS SHALL GO AND THE FAITHFUL SHALL STAY
AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN
LIKE AN ANGEL SENT DOWN FROM ABOVE
AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN
WELL ONCE IT STARTS THERE AIN'T NEVER ENOUGH
WELL MY GRANDFATHER DIED IN THE ROOM HE WAS BORN IN
TWENTY THREE SUMMERS AGO
BUT I COULD HAVE SWORN HE WAS BESIDE ME THIS MORNING
WHEN THE SHERIFF SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR
SO DON'T YOU COME AROUND HERE WITH YOUR AUCTIONEEER MAN
CAUSE YOU CAN HAVE THE MACHINES BUT YOU AINT TAKEN MY LAND
AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN
LIKE AN ANGEL SENT DOWN FROM ABOVE
AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN
WELL ONCE IT STARTS THERE AIN'T NEVER ENOUGH
