Curse the Sky

[Verse 1]

Sometimes in the summer, it'll lightnin', it'll thunder

But the rain don't seem to come it rolls on by

Thunder sounds like laughter, as the lightning hits the pasture and you know that has lands been dry for some time

And it burns and it burns, oh it burns

[Verse 2]

The river it stopped flowin' back through town some time ago and the train tracks rest below a bed of weeds

The truck stop shut its door on the day that oil hit a hundred and four dollars a barrel

Yall then the grocery store came next and then the bank

[Bridge]

And it burns oh it burns, it burns

Oh it burns, yeah it burns, oh it burns

[Chorus]

You do the things you know to just to make it by the day

You can hear the kids a cryin', but there's just no time to play. You work the way you know how just the way you've always done and you'd like to curse the skies that bring no rain and block the Sun

[Bridge]

And it burns

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

Sometimes when it's rainin' and there seems there ain't no stoppin' and a storm surge rushes past and all goes down

That river roars with laughter as it strips away the pasture land the home you built and work for your own hands

[Bridge]

And it rains, oh it rains, yeah it rains

And it rains, oh it rains, yeah it rains

[Chorus]

You do the things you know to just to make it by the day

You can hear the kids a cryin' but there's just no time to play you work the way you know how just the way you've always done and you'd like to curse the skies that bring the rain and block the Sun and it rains

[?]

Sometimes in the summer it'll lightnin', it'll thunder

But the rain don't seem to come it rolls on by
