rain is coming down. oh Lord the rain is coming down. oh baby that rain is coming down. is coming down on me And the thunder's making a sound. The thunder's making a sound. it's rumbling now, And it's making a big ol' sound. I'm getting ready for the next big round The lightnin's firing and it's a layin down, thundering loud and laying down South storms get loud on the afternoon side when the heat gets high the south just sighs takes control of your life gives it a shake lets the heat go fast with a big ole shake It's been a long time since I've been down South. It's been a long time since I've been down South. But this time looks like a far cry And that's no lie It's been a long time since I've been down South. Those gutters are spitting it out, The rain like a waterfall. A big old geyser of spitting foam Heat blasting warmth it'll cool it all For a little while til the devil comes to call I got no life if I do without. I ain't got no life if I do without. And that ain't no lie, you know it now. Ain't got no life—let's go on down. You better reach out. You better reach out. The rain is coming down. The rain is coming down. The rain is coming down. The rain is coming down. And the thunder's making a sound. The thunder's making a sound. The thunder is rumbling now, And it's making a big ol' sound. I'm getting ready for the next big round The lightnins firing and it's a layin down, thundering loud and laying down South storms get loud on the afternoon side when the heat gets high the south just sighs takes control of your life gives it a shake lets the heat go fast with a big ole shake
