Stan Cox - Hard Rain Coming Down lyrics

rate me

This storm blew up from out of nowhere now it's raining with a vengence<br />

Tonight West Texas might get washed away<br />

It's nights like these that get me thinking why'd I wanna be a trucker<br />

When I ask myself I ain't got much to say... and<br />

<br />

(Chorus # 1)<br />

It's a quarter past eleven eighty miles from Amarillo<br />

And I'm wondering if a Peterbilt can drown<br />

I can barely see the white lines thank God there ain't much traffic<br />

Just me and this old truck and a hard rain coming down<br />

<br />

My windshield wipers keep on trying it looks like a losing battle<br />

I know there's a truckstop up ahead<br />

I'll grab a cup and wait the storm out Lord knows it can't rain forever<br />

That's what I tell myself but I ain't taking bets<br />

<br />

(Repeat Chorus # 1)<br />

(Bridge)<br />

It's a West Texas morning that old Texas sun is shining<br />

The storm is nothing but a memory<br />

Back on the highway... Twin stacks a smokin'<br />

And eighteen wheels a rollin'... rolling to the one who waits for me<br />

<br />

(Chorus # 2)<br />

At a quarter past seven I pulled out of Amarillo<br />

Eastbound and I let the hammer down<br />

Started counting all the white lines seems the road goes on forever<br />

Just me and this old truck and the rain starts coming down<br />

(Chorus # 3)<br />

It's a quarter past eleven in Atoka, Oklahoma<br />

When this old Peterbilt pulls into my hometown<br />

She's standing in the doorway, there's nothing more to ask for<br />

Just me and the one I love and a hard rain coming down
