A big sun setting on the fields   I can't sleep on this tractor wheel   Put my seed into the earth   They never tell me just what it's worth      I'm praying for the rain   The open sky will seal my veins   When every farmer has made his grain   I'm praying for the rain, I'm still praying      The road was clear the night was too   And that's how I remember you   I hop a fence, I make my bed   But I can't make you leave my head      I'm praying for the rain   Just to wash away this pain   Another headlight through my brain   I'm praying for the rain, I'm still praying      Now all my words have headed north   They rode a taxi or took a horse   The way I loved you was all in vain   I'm still praying for the rain      I'm praying for the rain   Beat the drum till I'm insane   Give the next dance craze a name   I'm praying for the rain, I'm still praying
