I wish, I hope, I wonder where you're at sometimes   Is your back against the wall? Or just across the line   Have you been standing in the rain reciting nursery rhymes?   Trying to recall some long lost kind of peace of mind      Peace of mind   Try spending the night sometime   All alone in a frozen room   Afterneath you've lain, your Saddle in the rain      I dreamed they locked God up down in my basement   And He waited there for me to have this accident   So He could drink my wine and eat me like a sacrament   I just stood there like I do then I came and went      I came and went   Like a bird in a foreign sky   I couldn't even say good bye   Or come and share the pain   My Saddle's in the rain      I saw a friend who doesn't know if I'm his friend just yet   His eyes and the mouth were widely open and his jaw was set   Like he'd fell off a cliff and hadn't hit the bottom yet   I wish he wouldn't pull those things on me without a net      Without a net   I had him up to the house one time   And we was having a real good time   But then he went and lain, his Saddle in the rain      In a laundromat not too far from the Alamo   Sits a girl who stole my records very long ago   And she wishes, wants and washes out those dirty clothes   As she shuts her eyes and dreams about her one eyed Joe      One eyed Joe   A car parked on a dirty road   Heaven knows the load she pulled   Couldn't take the strain, a Saddle in the rain
