Lyrics Outside In The Rain - Tommy Shaw

Outside In The Rain

Outside in the rain
No one knows you’re outside in the cold cold rain
And nobody knows what you’re all about
But they’re gonna find
Out there it’s so dark
It’s hard to tell just who’s there near the park
He’s the spark that started the flame
Immortalized the name
Gave him instant fame
I know that’s not right
But what am I gonna do
I know it’s not right
Boy be a boy
Stop your fooling around
You’ve got one more chance
Before my feet touch the ground
Forget the introduction cause it don’t mean a thing
You’ve get my heartstrings humming
And you can make me sing
Out there no one knows
No one realizes how close
To the edge you can get
Yet still turn around
(They never told you what you needed to hear)
Without the slightest sound
(They only told you what you wanted to hear)
Move from your shaky ground
I know that’s right
But what am I gonna do
You refuse to see the light
Man be a man tell me what’s on your mind
If you take a little chance
Who knows what you’ll find
I can give you all the reasons
But I can’t make you think
You can lead a horse to water
But you can’t make him drink
Boy be a boy
Stop your fooling around
You’ve got one more chance
Before my feet touch the ground
Forget the introduction cause it don’t mean a thing
You’ve get my heartstrings humming
And you can make me sing
Man be a man tell me what’s on your mind
If you take a little chance
Who knows what you’ll find
I can give you all the reasons
But I can’t make you think
You can lead a horse to water
But you can’t make him drink
