Sometimes in the summer, it’ll lightnin’, it’ll thunder
But the rain don’t seem to come it rolls on by
Thunder sounds like laughter, as the lightning hits the pasture
And you know that land has been dry for some time
And it burns and it burns, oh it burns
The river it stopped flowin’ back through town some time ago
And the train tracks rest below a bed of weeds
The truck stop shut its door on the day that oil hit a hundred and four dollars a barrel
Ya’ll then the grocery store came next and then the bank
And it burns oh it burns, it burns
Oh it burns, yeah it burns, oh it burns
You do the things you know to just to make it day by day
You can hear the kids a cryin’, but there’s just no time to play.
You work the way you know how just the way you’ve always done
and you’d like to curse the skies that bring no rain and block the sun
And it burns
Sometimes when it’s rainin’ and there seems there ain’t no stoppin’
aand a storm surge rushes past and all goes down
That river roars with laughter as it strips away the pasture land the home you built
And work for your own hands
And it rains, oh it rains, yeah it rains
And it rains, oh it rains, yeah it rains
You do the things you know to just to make it by the day
You can hear the kids a cryin’ but there’s just no time to play
you work the way you know how just the way you’ve always done
and you’d like to curse the skies that bring the rain and block the sun and it rains
And it rains
Sometimes in the summer it’ll lightnin’, it’ll thunder
But the rain don’t seem to come it rolls on by
