Praying For Rain Lyrics - Cass County - Don Henley

Something's different, something's changed 

And I don't know what 

Even the old folks can't recall 

When it's ever been this hot and dry 

Dust devils whirlin' on the first day of July 

It's a hundred degrees at 10:00 AM 

Not a cloud up in the sky 

We hardly had a winter 

Had about a week of spring 

Crops are burned-up in the fields 

There's a blanket of dust on everything 

The weatherman is sayin' 

That there ain't no change in sight 

Lord, I've never been a prayin' man 

But I'm sayin' one tonight 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

Lord, I ain't never asked for much 

And I don't mean to complain 

But I'm prayin' for rain 

I ain't no wise man 

But I'm no fool 

I believe that mother nature 

Has taken us to school 

Maybe we just took too much 

And put too little back 

It isn't knowledge 

It's humility we lack 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

Lord, I ain't never asked for much 

And I don't mean to complain 

But I'm prayin' for rain 

Some people pray for victory 

Some people pray for peace 

Some people pray for extra time 

Some pray for sweet release 

Some pray for health and happiness 

For riches and renown 

But none of this will matter much 

If the waters don't come down 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

Lord, I ain't never asked for much 

And I don't mean to complain 

But I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm prayin' for rain 

I'm praying for rain
