The scene was a small roadside cafe

the waitress was sweepin' the floor

two truck-drivers drinkin' their coffee

and two okie-kids by the door



how much are them candies, they asked her

how much have you got, she replied

We've only a penny between us

them's two for a penny, she lied



Chorus:

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder

and the smell of the rain on the wind

ain't it just like a human

here comes that rainbow again



One truckdriver called to the waitress

after the kids went outside

them candies ain't two for a penny

so what's it to you, she replied

in silence they finished their coffee

got up and nodded godbye

she called, hey, you left too much money

so what's it to you, they replied



Chorus:

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder

and the smell of the rain on the wind

ain't it just like a human

here comes that rainbow again
