The Rain

Words and music by Andrew Bertelsen

I’m down at the station

Waiting on a southbound train

But I been stuck here all day

Thanks to the flooding and the rain

I watched the weather channel

On a TV by the bar

They said don’t you try to travel

Cause you won’t make it too damn far

Chorus:

And the rain fell down

On this sleepy little town

It left me standing at the station

I’ll never reach my destination

As the rain fell down

I’m looking for a brighter future

That the world holds in store

Cause’ I’ve spent whole life in this town

And now I’m looking for something more

Chorus

You may be coming

You may be going

Or maybe you’re just looking back

But one thing that I have learned

Is that rain

It will stop you right there in your tracks

Chorus

I was gonna’ be free today

A bright new light a brand new way

But the rain stopped me

And it turned me back around

I guess I’ll never leave this damn town

Chorus
