Lyrics
Can’t Wait For The Rain
(Demo Singer: Perry Coleman)
Crabgrass dying out
Spider cracks in the ground
Scarecrow on a hot summer day
Out in the cornfield wasting away
Junior lying in the shade
Day dreamin’ of lemonade
Ain’t a cloud in the whole damn sky
The river’s down and the well’s run dry
Daddy walks up
Shovels in his hands
Time to dig a little deeper, boy
We’re gonna save this land
You can’t watch that weather vane
Nothing falls from a clear blue sky
If you want to make things change
You can’t wait for the rain
Old Dodge loaded down
Nashville bound
Farm boy’s now a guitar man
Stack of songs and a one-man band
City lights up
as he tops that hill
He knows nobody knows him
But soon everybody will
(repeat chorus)
(Spoken)
Ya know, I almost gave up on this dream
Packed up my guitar and headed home
But as I finally drove up that old gravel road
Corn on each side, head high
I saw daddy up on the hill, pumping that well
Water spilling ‘cross the ground
Right then I knew what I had to do
And I turned that truck around
(repeat chorus)
