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
