The Rain Lyrics

My dad sold his car in 1972
Yeah he thought that he was headed to Vietnam
But the sores on his hands and his eyes got him the pardon
And he walked out clear, instead he met my mom
And I was brought up among the files
In sleepless seasons and murder trials
Yeah I learned to live a good life you gotta shoulder some pain
But it's raining tonight, yeah it's raining tonight,
And man I love to hear it rain

My friend and me stayed up and talked about his addiction
Thirty sober days and the pain in his legs wont stop
He said it feels so damn good to get my hands back on some ambition
I would've been famous now had I not burned those years right off
And I said,
Some rich men take their own lives
And some blind men take a beautiful wifeDave Smallen - The Rain - http://motolyrics.com/dave-smallen/the-rain-lyrics.html
If you're working hard you know you got a right to complain
But it's raining tonight, my friend it's raining tonight
And man I love to hear it rain

I love to hear it rain
I love to hear the rain
I love to hear that old soft sound just washing away the day

I spent some time in Hollywood, I spent all my money
So I came back up to stay at my parent's house
You know I only ever struggle with the things that I don't know
I'm gonna spend my whole life trying to figure all that out
And I've always felt just a little strange
A little bit too old for my face
You know sometimes I get the feeling I'll be first to the grave
But it's raining tonight, yeah it's raining tonight
And man I love to hear it rain
