When the Rain Comes Down

V6

[Verse 1] You turn the key on a Tuesday noon Just get a cough and a rusty tune I kick the tire, I curse the chrome That heap won’t take me anywhere home [Chorus] But when the rain comes down, she wakes right up Spits black smoke and rattles the cup Dry as a bone, she won’t even try Then the clouds roll in and she’s ready to fly [Verse 2] The hood’s got dents from a dozen years The bench seat smells like oil and beer I keep a coat in the back for the storm That’s the only time she’s willing to warm [Chorus] But when the rain comes down, she wakes right up Spits black smoke and rattles the cup Dry as a bone, she won’t even try Then the clouds roll in and she’s ready to fly [Bridge] I’ve chased that click through a month of sun Changed every wire, still nothing done Now the sky turns gray, I grab my keys She starts on the first drop against the leaves [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] When the rain comes down, she wakes right up Spits black smoke and rattles the cup Dry as a bone, she won’t even try Then the clouds roll in and she’s ready to fly [Outro] Rain on the roof, engine alive Old girl, old girl, take me for a drive
