a big sun setting on the fields, i can't sleep on this tractor wheel

put my seed into the earth, they never tell me just what it's worth

i'm praying for the rain, the open sky will seal my veins

when every farmer has made his grain, i'm praying for the rain, i'm still

praying



the road was clear the night was too, and that's how i remember you

i hop a fence, i make my bed, but i can't make you leave my head

i'm praying for the rain, just to wash away this pain

another headlight through my brain, i'm praying for the rain, i'm still

praying



now all my words have headed north, they rode a taxi or took a horse

the way i loved you was all in vain, i'm still praying for the rain

i'm praying for the rain, beat the drum till i'm insane

give the next dance craze a name, i'm praying for the rain, i'm still

praying



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
