I heard you said that I've been
callin'
Leavin' whispered words and love
songs on your answerin' machine
And I heard you said that I came
crawlin'
And that ya met me at the front
door and gave me back my ring
Well girl I'd say I've heard
about enough
Still I just can't help but be
a little curious
Does it rain there in that world
you're livin' in?
Do ya ever lose a day or two
when ya give it a good spin?
Does it rain there, or do the
clouds just roll on thru
While ya sit around the campfire,
eatin Haggard's rainbow stew
Does it rain there?
Your mom came by while I was mowin'
With a bunch of crap I figured
that you'd thrown out months ago
Then that old bag, she started
blowin
Tellin me how good I had it and
how I didn't even know
Well it's clear that you came
by it honestly
Cause she's a perfect fit for
your community
Does it rain there in that world
you're livin' in?
Do ya ever lose a day or two
when ya give it a good spin?
Does it rain there, or do the
clouds just roll on thru
While ya sit around the campfire,
eatin Haggard's rainbow stew
Does it rain there?
What a fool I had to be
To let a dream like you go free
Guess I probably should've tried
to make it work
I'd really like to change my
ways
And win ya back one of these
days
But I've just got so much to
do right HERE ON EARTH
Keep talking about how bad I'm
broken
You can even say this laughter?s
only hiding all my tears
But when you run out of whatever
you're smokin
Ya might realize that's your
stories are just fallin on deaf ears
I've been known to tell a lie
or two
But you're just like a big old
Christmas goose
Does it rain there, do the summers
ever end
I tell ya Disney ain't got nothin
on that world you're livin in
Does it rain there, or do the
clouds just roll on thru?
While ya sit around the campfire,
eatin Haggard's rainbow stew
Does it rain there?
