| The scene was a small roadside cafe,
|
| The waitress was sweeping the floor.
|
| Two truck drivers drinking their coffee.
|
| And two Okie kids by the door.
|
| «How much are them candies?"they asked her.
|
| «How much have you got?"she replied.
|
| «We've only a penny between us.»
|
| «Them's two for a penny,"she lied.
|
| And the daylight grew heavy with thunder,
|
| With the smell of the rain on the wind.
|
| Ain’t it just like a human.
|
| Here comes that rainbow again.
|
| One truck driver called to the waitress,
|
| After the kids went outside.
|
| «Them candies ain’t two for a penny.»
|
| «So what’s it to you?"she replied.
|
| In silence they finished their coffee,
|
| And got up and nodded goodbye.
|
| She called: «Hey, you left too much money!»
|
| «So what’s it to you?"they replied.
|
| And the daylight was heavy with thunder,
|
| With the smell of the rain on the wind.
|
| Ain’t it just like a human.
|
| Here comes that rainbow again. |
