Lonely highway like a river stretching
And my headlights glarin'
And my eyes are starin'
Into the night and the rain.
Static on the radio
A hard night's driving left to go
Rhythm of the wipers slow
I'm driving into the night
And the rain.
Big rigs are roarin' by
Must be doin' eighty-five
Comin' up so fast behind
It's enough to make me lose my mind
In the rain.
Wish I had a CB radio
Then I'd know how fast to go
The gas is runnin' pretty low
But the signs say "No Change"
And I've a twenty-dollar bill.
Here comes the rain.
Always the rain.
But after the rain,
The blue sky
And where I'm goin'
The sun is shining.
And soon with the dawn,
The sun will rise.
She'll open her eyes
And I'll be home.
Goddamn, the heater switch sticks,
Making me sleepy
And it looks kinda creepy
But I guess it's time I got out for a while
In the rain.
The air is like crystal
And the temperature's zero
But I have to clear my head
And where I am, God only knows,
Somewhere in the rain.
Here comes the rain.
Always the rain.
But after the rain,
The blue sky
And where I'm goin'
The sun is shining.
And soon with the dawn,
The sun will rise.
She'll open her eyes
And I'll be home.
(BREAK)
How many stars in the night sky?
How many worlds do we see without knowing?
How many times must a man try?
How many lives do we waste without growing?
Get yourself together, man
Your emotions are getting out of hand
To hell with that philosophy
Goddamn, I lost the key
In the rain.
Ah, hell! That's all I need
Highway Patrol to check my speed
They don't know how I need
Just to get home
Out of the rain.
Here comes the rain.
Always the rain.
But after the rain,
The blue sky
And where I'm goin'
The sun is shining.
And soon with the dawn,
The sun will rise.
She'll open her eyes
And I'll be home.
