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
