The Rain Came Down |
| The old man loaded up everything that he owned |
| On a wagon and headed out west |
| The old woman fearlessly faced the unknown |
| cause she figured he knew what was best |
| And they settled down hard on a government grant |
| With six mouths to feed and forty acres to plant |
| And the rain came down |
| Like an angel come down from above |
| And the rain came down |
| Itll wash you away and there aint never enough |
| Fall turned to winter another year gone |
| Over and over again |
| Some took their lives from their land and moved on And some stayed on to plow it back in And the good lord he giveth and he taketh away |
| And the restless shall go and the faithful shall stay |
| Now my grandaddy died in the room he was born in Twenty-three summers ago |
| But I could have sworn he was beside me this morning |
| When the sheriff showed up at my door |
| So dont you come around here with your auctioneer man |
| cause you can have the machines but you aint taking my land |
