Lyrics
IN THE RAIN I saw the car drive up in the winter rain, everything became a dream. Two soldiers stepped to the Kansas mud, my wife began to scream. I said, "You can turn that car around or better yet, stay and drown in the rain." My boy came home in a bitter box, I could still could feel him there. A few thousand dollars is what we got, I guess this deal is square. We laid my boy in frozen ground, the preacher spoke, I only heard the sound of the rain. I'm a soldier's son, I did my time. His time had come, next in line. He died courageous, so they say but that don't take this rain away. Weeks have gone, got to sow the crops, comin' up on May, but why go on when it won't stop? It all gets washed away. There's always a cemetery in my head. I wish they'd buried me instead in the rain. Jesus come down from your cross, talk with me a while. Come with me, we'll take a walk up the road a mile. Kneel at this grave made of mud, come and save me with your blood of rain. They say be proud, any father would. They say don't doubt the greater good. He died courageous, so they say but that don't take this rain away. My wife is gone down to Wichita, lives with our daughter-in-law. Twenty-four years we worked this farm, I don't miss her at all. Sometimes I think I'll get my gun, have a drink, join my son in the rain, in the rain.
