1
Well, it hadn't rained in as many Sundays as the preacher he had prayed
2
But it didn't matter 'cause nobody prayed it anyway
3
Some danced and some sang
4
Some threw silver rings
5
And the corn got yella and the wheat all died
6
And the sun dried up the springs
7
When the rains came
8
The whole town lost it's mind
9
Poured gasoline down Main Street
10
And we set it up on fire
11
When the rains came
12
How were we to know
13
We'd held on for so long
14
And just to let it go
15
When the rains came
16
And they called in the state troopers
17
And they called in the police
18
And they arrested everybody
19
My brothers and me
20
And when we got to court
21
And they put us on the stand
22
We just looked at each other
23
Started laughing once again
24
'Cause when the rains came
25
The whole town lost it's mind
26
Poured gasoline down Main Street
27
And we set it up on fire
28
When the rains came
29
How were we to know
30
We'd held on for so long
31
And just to let it go
32
When the rains came
33
Some say it's a tragedy
34
Some say it's a shame
35
Some say it's the water
36
We never got to drink
37
Some blame Jesus
38
Some blame the rock and roll
39
I think we were just trying to get
40
A little bit of control
41
So, when the rains came
42
The whole town lost it's mind
43
Poured gasoline down Main Street
44
And we set it up on fire
45
When the rains came
46
How were we to know
47
We'd held on for so long
48
And just to let it go
49
When the rains came
50
When the rains came
51
When the rains came
52
When the rains came
53
When the rains came
