It's been raining here so much

It's taking everything we have left

To clutch the bitter remains

Of a bone-soaked washed out luck

Digging in deep this ain't the first time

We've been struck



I guess I know how to share

Guess I know how to pare down

When they hand me my bills

Said son you're gonna get your fill

From these Midwest Hoovervilles



I'm not gonna play your game

Won't even know my name

Keep in mind I'm prone to change

Every time it starts to rain



Not quite forty days but it's enough

To hear me sending curses and praises above


I've been working my life

Through the mud and the muck

Trying to pay these bills, you know, life and such

There's only one way to forgive

A thousand drinks to forget

These small town politics

I feel like leaving the sticks behind

And taking over a new state of mind



I'm not gonna play your game

Won't even know my name

Keep in mind I'm prone to change

Every time it starts to rain



It's been raining here so much

It's taking everything we have left

To clutch
