Jamey Johnson - Thankful For The Rain lyrics

rate me

You say hello like a long lost friend

And play me like an old violin

And in a day or two you're gone again

And I wonder why I keep playing

I sit and watch the clouds each day

Wondering when they will turn to gray

And you come and go

Like a storm across the coast

And expect me to be thankful for the rain

Well I guess I should be thankful for

All the nights of straight downpours

And soaking up every drop I get

'Cause who knows how long I'll have to wait

'Til you come blowing back my way

I'm learning to be thankful for the rain

I know when the morning comes

The truth will rise up like the sun

As I'm cleaning up the damage done

There's everything I prayed for

You come and go

Like a storm across the coast

And expect me to be thankful for the rain
