- Cody Johnson Pray for Rain 歌詞
- Cody Johnson
- When I was five years old
Lookin through the window pane,
There was debt growin in the fields,
Every year it was the same,
There was burnt up corn,
Livin in a dusty haze,
And daddyd say good night son, I love you,
And pray for rain.
Well, it was about mid July when daddys pride sank,
He told my momma, he was goin to the bank,
He put on his Sundays best, but it didnt hide his pain,
The banker said take the money son,
But you better, pray for rain.
Well theres no clouds to hide the sun,
And theres no waters in the creeks,
And theres a fear in the congregation,
Every Sunday when we meet,
That the devils found West Texas
And he may never leave,
The preacher gives his sermon,
Says pay your tithes and pray for rain.
Now my daddys land is mine,
And times sure aint the same,
The blacktops taken over,
Theres no room to grow the grain,
And now the man down at the bank
He dont understand my pain,
Cause he dont have to lay his head down every night ,
And pray for rain.
When I was five years old,
Lookin through the window pane,
There was debt growin in the fields,
Every year it was the same.
There was burnt up corn,
Livin in a dusty haze,
And daddyd say good night son,
I love you,
And pray for rain.
