Barefoot Children In The Rain Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Scratch my back with a lightning bolt 

Thunder rolls like a bass drum note 

The sound of the weather is heaven's ragtime band 

We all fell down from the milky way 

Hangin' round here till judgment day 

Heaven only knows who's in command 

Barefoot children in the rain 

Got no need to explain 

We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain 

It's always understood by those who play the game 

Barefoot children in the rain 

Show me yours and I'll show you mine 

Take me back to days full of monkeyshines 

Bouncin' on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun 

Keep your raft from the riverboat 

Fiction over fact always has my vote 

And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been

Barefoot children in the rain 

Got no need to explain 

We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain 

It's always understood by those who play the game 

Barefoot children in the rain 

La la la la la 

La la la la la 

La la la la la 

La la la la la la 

Barefoot children in the rain 

Scratch my back with a lightning bolt 

Thunder rolls like a bass drum note 

The sound of the weather is heaven's ragtime band 

The sky turns blue and the sun appears 

But the question's still what are we doin' here 

I don't think the answer's close at hand

Barefoot children in the rain 

In the rain...
