Pray For Rain

Intro - repeats once after each verse D G D D A D D When I was five years old G D Lookin' through the window pane, D There was debt growin' in the fields, A D Every year it was the same, D There was burnt up corn, G D Livin' in a dusty haze, D A And daddy'd say good night son, I love you, D And pray for rain. D G D Well, it was about mid-July when daddy's pride sank, D A D He told my momma, he was goin' to the bank, D G D He put on his Sunday's best, but it didn't hide his pain, D The banker said take the money son, A D But you better, pray for rain. D Well there's no clouds to hide the sun, G D And there's no waters in the creeks, D And there's a fear in the congregation, A D Every Sunday when we meet, D That the devil's found West Texas G D And he may never leave, D The preacher gives his sermon, A D Says pay your tithes and pray for rain. D Now my daddy's land is mine, G D And times sure ain't the same, D The blacktop's taken over, A D There's no room to grow the grain, D And now the man down at the bank G D Well he don't understand my pain, D A Cause he don't have to lay his head down every night, D And pray for rain. D When I was five years old G D Lookin' through the window pane, D There was debt growin' in the fields, A D Every year it was the same, D There was burnt up corn, G D Livin' in a dusty haze, D A And daddy'd say good night son, I love you, D And pray for rain.
