OWEN TEMPLE “ONE DAY CLOSER TO RAIN”
CAPO 2

A song about making it rain

C                       F        C
Wells drying up and the creek is gone
C                           G           
Dust is flying and cows are skin and bones
Am                                 F
A drought like this will drive you from your home
C                G         C
But were one day closer to rain

Weather man stands the waving his arms
There no more bails of hay down on the farm
Corn crops dead on my old mans farm
But were one day closer to rain

My brother works at a bank in san Antonio
The feds locked the doors two weeks ago
Said the numbers didn’t add up and a the business was slow
One day closer to rain

Hurricane last summer from the Gulf of Mexico
Ran aground and dumped an ocean on San Angelo
There was flooding in the desert a year ago 
But were one day closer to rain

Wanna be water be ?fire? next time 
but a forty day flood would be just fine
be on the deck of a arc with a fishing line
One day closer to rain

Wells drying up and the creek is gone
Dust is flying and cows are skin and bones
A drought like this will drive you from your home
But were one day closer to rain
