Lyrics

11. So Much Rain 3:22
music and lyrics by Ernest Troost


Well, all my life I never seen so much rain
It keeps me up at night, poundin’ on my windowpane
It’s drummin’ on the tin roof like a vibraphone
My baby took my best umbrella, says she’s never comin’ home
No, all my life I never seen so much rain

Well, I went to see my banker the other day
He said I’m sorry, son, but your money just floated away
Well, facts are cheap, but lying’s free
Put your money in your mattress throw away the key
All my life I never seen so much rain

Well, the water kept risin’ for forty days and forty nights
If I had an ark I’d be doin’ alright
There’s perch in my pantry and flounder on the floor
There’s alligators washed up on my front door
Yeah, all my life I never seen so much rain

Well, the storm passed and the sun is shinin’ bright
But there’s something in the mud that don’t look right
It’s the banker’s safe with a busted door
And there’s my money and so much more
Yeah, all my life I never seen so much rain
Yeah, all my life I never seen so much rain
