John Kilzer - Sleeping in the Rain lyrics

Artist: John Kilzer

album: Hide Away


Pawned my Casio saxophone
Stole a 38
Bought a ticket on a greyhound to Baltimore
Took a seat down at the gate
A man in a wheelchair rolled up to me
Said son the end is near
And while you can stand up for me
Tell somebody I need a beer
And I don't drink because I want to
I just drink for the pain
And it keeps me warm at night
While I'm sleeping in the rain
Got a part-time job in Omaha
In a late-night convenience store
Spend most of my time reading magazines
Kept a damn close watch on the door
A girl comes in with tracks on her arms
Shaking like a tambourine
I say honey why you do yourself like that
And she stared dead straight at me
She said I don't run junk cause I want to
I Just run junk, for the pain
And this horse keeps me warm at night
While I'm sleeping in the rain.
So before you go to casting stones
Take a good look in your heart
And be thankful that you have a home
And pray for those lost souls in the dark
Cause God loves them more than you'll ever know
Cause all they have is him
And his heart is with the losers
He don't care who wins.
And he loves them cause he wants to
And he loves them through the pain
And he keeps them warm at night
While he's sleeping in the rain.
While he's sleeping in the rain.
While he's sleeping in the rain.
