Charlie Robison - Rain

Well I hear that ol' John Deere tractor At the low water bridge Pullin' them drinkers across He's draggin so many on this Saturday nigh I can smell that ol' tractor's exhaust But the rain on the roof sounds so pretty And the cowboys I fear for the most The Medina done broke from it's ragged ol' pen And it's makin a run for the coast There's a place down on Main Street Right across from the bank Where somebody drew on a line Bout twenty foot up on that frontier hotel Where it crested back in '29 Well they said it took most of this little ol' town Cause we live on what they call the plain Well I read all about it in the cafe downtown Where they got that ol' newspaper framed But the rain on the roof sounds so pretty And the cowboys I fear for the most The Medina done broke from it's ragged ol' pen And it's makin a run for the coast My grandmother called me 'bout 10 minutes ago Like she does almost every night She said they have come home way early From the ol' rodeo When a big bolt had knocked out the light She said a cowboy got buckin' just before it went dark On a bull they called Trick 'r' Treat Ain't nobody saw if he finished his ride So I guess I'll forget about sleep But the rain on the roof sounds so pretty And the cowboys I fear for the most The Medina done broke from it's ragged ol' pen And it's makin a run for the coast The Medina done broke from it's ragged ol' pen And it's makin a run for the coast
