She had five hundred dollars that her grandma left her
She said for a rainy day
A hundred more from the general store
Where she stocked the shelves for pay
She?d had enough of those country roads
And the wind in the telephone wires
She said a prayer for luck and started the truck
Checked the mirror and spun the tires
She said there?s no such thing as a rainy day
And the world is bigger than the milky way
You save it too long you?re just throwin it away
And she rolls like the thunder
Riding to the edge of the storm
Chorus chords w/ mandolin solo
She had her mama?s smile and her daddy?s fire
And their love burned deep in her soul
They were more than glad to give her all they had
As they pushed her from the fold
Now the road gets wider mile by mile
As she heads east toward the dawn
The clouds press down, the lightning sounds
Lilly turns those wipers on
She said there?s no such thing as a rainy day
And the world is bigger than the milky way
You save it too long you?re just throwin it away
And she rolls like the thunder
Riding to the edge of the storm
Chorus chords w/ guitar solo
The cards came in from Fond do Lac
New Orleans and Chilliwack
She said one of these days I?ll be coming back
But I?m not gonna stay
She said there?s no such thing as a rainy day
The world is bigger than the milky way
You save it too long you?re just throwin it away
And she rolls like the thunder
She said there?s no such thing as a rainy day
The world is bigger than the milky way
You save it too long you?re just throwin it away
And she rolls like the thunder
Riding to the edge of the storm
Outro: Chorus chords w/ dobro solo
