cold rain keep on coming down always the same in this old town waiting on a piece of mind is like waiting on the sun to shine and i m waiting on the sun to shine i m waiting on the sun to shine to chase these clouds right out of my mind and i m waiting on the times to change so things ain t always gonna be this way where does this old railroad end keep on going up around the bend looking back on all my friends they re all waving goodbye again they re all waving goodbye again they re all waving goodbye again gonna ride on a little little know where i been one day closer with one i said bringing it back to where it all began whiskey bottle gonna keep me warm give me shelter from the storm used to be a woman s chore but she don t come around no more no she don t come around no more and she don t come around no more she s been running away since the day she was born but i m feeling better with each drink that i pour till i can t remember what i m drinking for
