Waiting For the Rain                © L. Dunn ‘01     

Verse
Half the people have left this Oklahoma town
Just can’t scratch a living off this dust bowl ground
For years there hasn’t been a drop of rain
When will the heavens open-up again
Chorus
Waiting for the rain to come
Waiting … for the rain
Verse
The wind is howlin’ across this barren ground
Everything’s been blown to Texas that’s not nailed down
No crops comin’ in … too bone-dry to plant
Now Oklahoma is no-man’s land
Chorus
Waiting for the rain to come
Waiting … for the rain
Solo
Verse
 Let the lightning flash and the thunder roll
Let the sky pour down on the land below
And wash away this spell into the Gulf of Mexico
Bring back life to the land we know
Chorus
Waiting for the rain to come
Waiting … for the rain
