[Verse] I don't know what the Earth done But I'm sittin' here sweatin' thin Why is the sun so angry with the Earth today That it needs to cook the people this way? I guess that's why we pray Thank God for some rain [Chorus] 'Cause Baby There's a heatwave In the heartland of America And we need a little peace In this home of the brave So please come on and save us In the middle of a heatwave [Verse] Might as well go to hell Or Go and pay my sins 'Cause the fires of Hades Ain't worse than this And I ain't got no water Ain't got no friends Ain't got nobody to call on When it's hotter than this I guess that's why we pray Thank God for some rain [Chorus] 'Cause Baby There's a heatwave In the heartland of America And we need a little peace In this home of the brave So please come on and save us In the middle of a heatwave [Bridge] I'm hopin' that the Good Lord comes And rains down on us He can flood us out of here If it means a little relief The desert of the Midwest Is all we got left But that's a death wish So I sit and pray Thank God for some rain [Chorus] 'Cause Baby There's a heatwave In the heartland of America And we need a little peace In this home of the brave So please come on and save us In the middle of a heatwave
