I almost got fired from a job after many second chances. I took the situation and made it into a story of broken romance.

Too Much Rain

We were married in a hurry and you told me not to worry
There’d be sunshine and blue skies for you and me
Then you brought me to Seattle where we pitched a constant battle
And that’s too much rain for me.

From the Midwest to the Northwest how you thought that I’d be impressed
With the stormy weather I will never see
While the forecast just grew blacker it was true love I was after
And the sunshine that was never meant to be.

Not enough sunshine, too much rain
Not enough laughter, too much pain
Now you broke my heart – what else can I do?
You couldn’t keep your wedding vows, now keep the car and keep the house
Too much rain, too much rain to stay with you.

Instrumental break

Now I’m leavin in a hurry so you need not ever worry
Bout the sunshine that you never meant to be
Yeah, I’m headin for St. Louie and you better not pursue me
Cause it’s too much rain for me.
Yes, it’s too much rain for me.
