when will it rain lyrics

When will it rain, I feel the heat burning through my shoes?
Soft shoulders are getting harder adding to my blues
Can't count the days gone by, can't wash away the stain
Left on the life behind me from which I came

The day is getting longer, the heat is getting hotter
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
Well I chose this long road and on it I remain
When will it rain?

(When will it rain?)
Can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain
(When will it rain?)
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me?

(When will it rain?)
I think I'm going insane
(When will it rain?)
I'm on the road that will never take me home
When will it rain?

When will it rain my mouth is as dry as desert sand
And I've tried to hide in every corner of this land?
You can't lose the things attached or that's what they say
Well things I loved, attached or not, yeah well I've thrown away

The day is getting longer, the heat is getting hotter
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
Well I chose this long road and on it I remain
When will it rain?

(When will it rain?)
Can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain
(When will it rain?)
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me?

(When will it rain?)
I think I'm going insane
(When will it rain?)
I'm on the road that will never take me home
When will it rain?
Is it ever going to rain?

I've walked for miles and miles in a dead man's shoes
You can walk, you can run but can't hide from the blues
And I've felt the pain of the world falling down on me
Well all I need is a little cool rain to set me free

The day is getting longer, the heat is getting hotter
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
Well I chose this long road and on it I remain

(When will it rain?)
Can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain
(When will it rain?)
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me?

(When will it rain?)
I think I'm going insane
(When will it rain?)
I'm on the road that will never take me home
(When will it rain?)

(When will it rain?)
I can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain
(When will it rain?)
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me?

(When will it rain?)
I must be going insane
(When will it rain?)
I'm on the road that will never ever take me home

(When will it rain?)
When will it rain?
(When will it rain?)
I'm standing here in the sun but that don't mind
(When will it rain?)
Lying on the rain
(When will it rain?)
All I need is a little cool rain
When will it rain?
