Lord, it’s been so hot, thought that I would never stop sweating
Have to peel my clothes off. It’s a never ending sticky feeling

Till the rain comes and cools it down so you can live again
Till the rain comes bringing that ol’ rainy day feelin’

If you step outside with your steamy skin glistening
The dirt will find you, batter you up to bake in the sun

Till the rain comest o knock the dust down and cleanse your soul
Till the rain comes and takes you back to a day when you were ten years old

Time stands still on a summer day when the trees shine green and the sky is gray
(fallin’ drop, drop, drop from heaven drop, drop, drop; cool rain)
Fifteen-twelve or nineteen-seventy, it feels the same in the
Cool rain

Sometimes, even the rain can’t save you from the heat
It can fall, fall, but half is lost as it’s turned to steam
It feels worse at first, like you’re covered in grease
But, it’s a wet dose that brings you hope and memories

Till the rain comes and cools it down so you can live again
Till the rain comes bringing that ol’ rainy day feelin’

Time stands still on a summer day when the trees shine green and the sky is gray
(fallin’ drop, drop, drop from heaven drop, drop, drop; cool rain)
Fifteen-twelve or nineteen-seventy, it feels the same in the
Cool rain
