WHISKEYTOWN - I Hope It Rains At My Funeral lyrics

rate me

Can't send no fourteen year-old boy to no school<br>The only thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddy's farm was,<br>Son, you better get them crops in when it turns cool.<br><br>In the magazines, I saw the naked women<br>I heard about the drinkin' and the bars<br>If my daddy could've caught me, he'd a-killed me<br>He said, you might run, boy, but you ain't gonna get far.<br><br>I hit town or you might say that it hit me<br>Next mornin' there were things I knew more about<br><br>The woman who had taken me in said, country boy, you're all right.<br>The same way I turned her on, she turned me out<br>The first law I broke, right away they got me<br>I helped them build the country roads for awhile<br>They fed me two times a day and knocked me down about four<br>For thirty days I didn't even crack a smile<br><br>I met a nice girl and she said I was her baby<br>She let me go and would never tell me why<br>I learned what it means to be somebody's baby<br>They let you lie in your bed by yourself and cry<br><br>The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray<br>I've met some people that knew me and call me friend<br>Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live over<br>I'd find different ways to make those mistakes again<br><br>So let me say this, I never tried to hurt anybody<br>Though I guess there's a few that I still couldn't look in the eye<br>If I've got one wish, I hope it rains at my funeral<br>For once, I'd like to be the only one dry
