Between steeples and the dirt
The wheat fields and the empty church
There's hard times just gettin' by
Better pray for a run of luck
Before the sun and my hopes get up
And I'm just tough enough to try
Well it's been dry like the county line
It seems like anything moving is leavin' town
Now I'm all alone hoping she'll come home
It's like waitin' on good rain or Jesus to come down
I said something's gotta change
So they widened up the old two-lane
Just the same she's gone
It might take an act of God
But I'm bettin' everything I've got
She'll turn around and come home
Well it's been dry like the county line
It seems like anything moving is leavin' town
Now I'm all alone hoping she'll come home
It's like waitin' on good rain or Jesus to come down
So come on good rain
Come on Jesus
I'll make it okay
'Cause tomorrow don't mean nothin'
If she's not here
She's everything
She's everything
Well it's been dry like the county line
It seems like anything moving is leavin' town
Now I'm all alone hoping she'll come home
It's like waitin' on good rain or Jesus to come down
It's like waitin' on good rain or Jesus to come down
Well come on down
To the lonely town
I said come on down
Come on Jesus, come on down
Come on Jesus, come on down
Well come on down
Well come on down
Well come on down
This lonely town
Waitin' on good rain, good rain
A whole lotta good rain, good rain
Waitin' on Jesus to come on down
