"Praying for Rain" plays

Something's different Something's changed, and I don't know why 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 A.M. Not a cloud up in the sky Hardly had a winter Had about a week of spring Crops are burned up in the field 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 - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - Lord, I ain't never asked for much And I don't mean to complain But I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - I ain't no wise man But I ain't 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 - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - Lord, I ain't never asked for much And I don't mean to complain But I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - 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 - Rai-ai-ai-n I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - Lord, I ain't never asked for much And I don't mean to complain But I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n - I'm prayin' for - Rai-ai-ai-n
