When will it rain, I feel the heat burning through my shoes Soft shoulders are getting harder adding to my blues Can't count the days gone by, can't wish away the stain On the life behind me from which I came The day is getting longer The heat is getting hotter The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain I chose this long road and on it I remain When will it rain CHORUS When will it rain Can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain When will it rain It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me When will it rain I think I'm going insane When will it rain I'm on the road that will never take me home When will it rain When will it rain my mouth is as dry as desert sand And I've tried to hide in every corner of this land You can't lose the things attached or that's what they say Things I loved, attached or not, I've thrown away The day is getting longer The heat is getting hotter The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain I chose this long road and on it I remain When will it rain CHORUS Is it ever gonna rain I've walked for miles and miles in a dead man's shoes You can walk, you can run, but can't hide from the blues And I've felt the pain of the world falling down on me All I need is a little cool rain to set me free The day is getting longer The heat is getting hotter The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain I chose this long road and on it I remain CHORUS When will it rain Can't stand this heat from the road, can't take the pain When will it rain It'sa burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me When will it rain Must be going insane When will it rain I'm on the road that will never ever take me home When will it rain When will it rain When will it rain I feel the heat of the sun burning down on me When will it rain Bring on the rain When will it rain All I need is a little cool rain When will it rain
