There's a driveway and a brick mailbox
An empty house with a broken clock
And a water bill that's way past due
The flowers can't push through the dirt

Since the factories left town with the work
But hey, that ain't nothing new
So I, I'm waiting on the rain
Wasting all the hours in my day

Been dry for all these years
Ain't nothing left round here
And I, I'm waiting on the rain
Preacher man He came to town He said

If you lay your money down
Well, I can help you wash away your sins
A holy man knows how to lie
And a soldier still knows how to die and me

I just wanna know how it ends
So I, I'm waiting on the rain
Wasting all the hours in my day
Been dry for all these years

Ain't nothing left round here
And I, I'm waiting on the rain
And I, I'm waiting on the rain
I don't mind the sun

No, I, I don't mind the sun
No, I, I don't mind the sun
When it's for everyone
And I, I'm waiting on the rain

Wasting all the hours in my day
Been dry for all these years
Ain't nothing left round here
And I, I'm waiting on the rain

The end of times is coming soon
But all that's in this empty room
Is the last thing that I said
So fill the taxi to the top

You know we ain't got time to stop
Cause there's mouths that need fed
