Curse the Sky

Sometimes in the summer, it'll lightnin', it'll thunder
 But the rain don't seem to come it rolls on by
 Thunder sounds like laughter, as the lightning hits the pasture
 And you know that has lands been dry for some time
 And it burns, and it burns, oh it burns
 The river it stopped flowin' back through town some time ago
 And the train tracks rest below a bed of weeds
 The truck stop shut its door on the
 day that oil hit a hundred and four
 Dollars a barrel yall then the
 grocery store came next and then the bank
 And it burns, oh it burns, it burns
 Oh it burns, yeah it burns, oh it burns
 You do the things you know to just to make it day by day
 You can hear the kids a cryin', but there's just no time to play
 You work the way you know how just the way you've always done
 And you'd like to curse the skies that bring no rain and block the sun
 And it burns
 Sometimes when it's rainin' and there seems there ain't no stoppin'
 And a storm surge rushes past and all goes down
 That river roars with laughter as it strips away the pasture land
 The home you built and work for your own hands
 And it rains, oh it rains, yeah it rains
 And it rains, oh it rains, yeah it rains
 You do the things you know to just to make it day by day
 You can hear the kids a cryin' but there's just no time to play
 You work the way you know how just the way you've always done
 And you'd like to curse the skies
 that bring the rain and block the sun
 And it rains
 Sometimes in the summer it'll lightnin', it'll thunder
 But the rain don't seem to come it rolls on by
