Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a rain, dirt town, job hurts, but it don't pay
All these calls they're making me and driving you insane
But don't you see, don't you understand
I'm waiting for my phone to ring to make me all I am
[Verse 2]
'Cause you're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go
I'm down here working on some dumb show
[Verse 3]
In a raintown, raintown, rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
Raintown, raintown, rain down
On all those days you're not around
[Verse 4]
It takes a big hearted girl from the North Country, you can tell
How you payed those bills and went through heaven and hell
And you cried, and you traveled, and you spat, but you never asked
Well, how long, how long, how long is this pain?
[Verse 5]
You're on for three minutes trying hard to say hello
I'm down here working on some dumb show
[Verse 6]
In a raintown, raintown, rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
Raintown, raintown, rain down
On all those days you're not around
[Verse 7]
Sitting at home, listening to your radio
Listening for some old friend talking on some dumb show
What's he saying, what's he saying, what's he saying, saying
[Verse 8]
In a raintown, raintown, rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
Raintown, raintown, rain down
On all those days you're not around
[Verse 9]
Raintown, raintown, rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
Raintown, raintown, rain down
On all those days you're not around
You're not around
You're not around
