Thankful for the Rain Songtext
von Jamey Johnson

You say hello like a long lost friend
And play me like an old violin
And in a day or two you′re gone again
And I wonder why I keep playing
I sit and watch the clouds each day
Wondering when they will turn to gray
And you come and go
Like a storm across the coast
And expect me to be thankful for the rain


Well I guess I should be thankful for
All the nights of straight downpours
And soaking up every drop I get
'Cause who knows how long I′ll have to wait
'Til you come blowing back my way
I'm learning to be thankful for the rain

I know when the morning comes
The truth will rise up like the sun
As I′m cleaning up the damage done
There′s everything I prayed for

You come and go
Like a storm across the coast
And expect me to be thankful for the rain
