Something's different something's changed
And I don't know why
Even the old folks can't recall
When it's ever been this hot and dry
Dust devils whirlin on the 1st day of july
It's a 100 degrees at 10 am
Not a cloud up in the sky
We hardly had a winter
Had about a week of spring
Crops are burned up in the fields
There's a blanket of dust on everything
The weatherman is saying
That there ain't no change in sight
Lord I've never been a praying man
But I'm saying one tonight
I'm praying for rain
Lord I ain't never asked for much
And I don't mean to complain
I ain't no wise man
But I ain't no fool
And I believe that mother nature
Has taken us to school
Maybe we just took too much
And put too little back
It isn't knowledge
It's humility we lack
Some people pray for victory
Some people pray for peace
Some people pray for extra time
Some pray for sweet release
Some pray for health and happiness
For riches and renown
But none of this will matter much
If the waters don't come down
Praying for rain
