April showers have melted my soul
but the rain must come to an end
for there are better days ahead this I know
I see the sun rising around the bend,
I see the sun rising around the bend

When the kudzu vines start to grow down in dixie
and the sunflowered gardens explode
my bags are packed and I’m a fixin
to spend my life on the road,
to spend my life on the road

my heart is in this little bag of bones
your face is the one I see when I am alone
and I thank you for the love that you’ve shown
yes, it’s the one thing that will carry me on

though I love you and I always will
I’ll take this chance on goodbye
well, i’m sorry i didn’t stick around to say it
but I could not stand to see you cry
