Continental Drifters - Daddy Just Wants It to Rain слова песни




Written by peter holsappleMain voice: peterProduced by continental drifters & mike mayeuxReleased on vermilion (1999)Daddy was the eldest of tenAnd my mama was an only childShe mustve represented back thenThe part of him that couldnt go wildShe was freeSomething he could never because daddy was the oneWho always took responsibility.They met at a uso dance hallAt the start of the second world warShe was gentle, kind and intelligentSomething daddyd never known beforeAnd they dancedLater on came the romancecause daddy shipped outBefore he had the chance to ask for her hand.But it all turned out all rightAnd he would lay in his hammock at nightDreaming of a family and homeWith the woman that he left behindAt night, his shipmates would go check out the barsBut daddyd just stare at the starsAnd dream of hertil he thought he might lose his mind.They got married on v.e. dayBy the preacher from my mamas churchMamad always dreamed of a honeymoonBut daddy had to go back to workHe plowed those fieldsSince the navy never tought him a tradeMamad make his lunchAnd theyd eat it out in the shade.The boys were born in the fiftiesGeorgie, herman and meAnd we grew up wanting for nothingtil georgie saw his first tvIt was the christmas of 1959There was a console in the living roomWell, mama and the boys watched variety showsAnd daddy just stared out at the moon.The drought hit hard in the sixtiesAnd the irrigation couldnt controlMama sighed when they sold the farmBut daddy lost a piece of his soulHe said "hard work is a virtueAnd you should always work as hard as you can"He said "hard work will never hurt you"But he never said nothing about the land.Yeah, but mama always told us boys"you should follow the golden ruleAlways look for the good in the other guyBut never be anyones fool"Then daddyd laugh a littleThen hed look out at his weather vaneOh mama wants a rainbowDaddy just wants it to rain.They moved in with hermans familyIn the nice part of the cityMamad help gina with the grandchildrenAnd tried to make the house look prettyBut daddyd sit at his windowFrom when he got up til he went to bedJust knowing that hed failed his familyHe couldnt get it out of his head.It was the summer of 1978When mama caught pneumonia and diedDaddy lost his will to live that fallNow theyre buried side by sideAnd in the midst of all our griefGeorgie said to our relief"well, mama got her rainbowAnd its starting to rain".He said "mama got her rainbowAnd its starting to rain".And its starting to rainIts starting to rainIts starting to rainIts starting to rainIts starting to rain.Its starting to rainIts starting to rainIts starting to rain, to rain, rainTo rain.
