lyrics
It’s dry.
My fence is splitting wood, and your garden’s gonna die.
Let’s share another bottle, and drink a toast to June.
Because July is still a blur, and it’s October now.
She never smiles.
She’s some mother’s daughter, and they love her in this town.
And her sister always smiles.
Hey, pass that bottle down.
It’s another Indian Summer.
Let’s blow the dam down … (and flood this damn town).
Let’s pray
There’s nothing what will save you like a belly full of rain.
But to flood this whole damn valley, you need more than broken dams.
Just tap the wells that children play in to cool their summer tans.
Don’t smile
Your sister’s got you covered; she’s smiling in the tide,
’Cause she’s the sunshine, and you’re the rain.
She’s like sunshine, and you’re the rain.
It’s dry
Drier than it’s been in a mighty long time, and everybody’s worried
About the rain.
Everybody’s worried.
We need the rain ...
