The scene was a small roadside cafe
The waitress was sweepin' the floor
Two truck drivers drinking their coffee
And two Okie kids by the door.

How much are them candys they asked her
How much have you got she replies
We've only a penny between us
Them's two for a penny she lies.

And the light was too heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain't it just a like a human
Here comes that rainbow again.

One truck driver called to the waitress
After the kids went outside
Them candys ain't two for a penny
So what's it to you she replied?

In silence they finished their coffee
Got up and nodded goodbye
She called, hey, you left too much money
So what's it to you they replied?

And the light was too heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain't it just a like a human
Here comes that rainbow again...
