[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I left Mississippi, before the lights came on
A pack of jackals nippin at my heels
I crossed that muddy river, then turned the horses loose
Did not break til I hit Castroville
[Chorus]
It ain t gonna rain no more
It ain t gonna rain no more
The summer sun might blind me
The winter wind will roar
It ain t gonna rain no more
[Verse 2]
Once I had a dollar, once I had a dime
Once I had a bright eyed chickadee
I traded them for neon, it happens everytime
This life of mine will be the death of me
[Chorus]
It ain t gonna rain no more
It ain t gonna rain no more
The summer sun might blind me
The winter wind will roar
It ain t gonna rain no more
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I settled down in Hondo, a stone s throw from Devine
My baby has a baby on the way
If you see Mississippi, tell her that I m fine
And I ll be coming home again someday
[Chorus]
It ain t gonna rain no more
It ain t gonna rain no more
The summer sun might blind me
The winter wind will roar
It ain t gonna rain no more
That summer sun might blind me
The winter wind will roar
-
It ain t gonna rain no more
