Rodney Crowell - I Wish It Would Rain Lyrics
Turning tricks on SunsetTwenty bucks a popSome out of town ol' businessman or an undercover copI'm living with the virus flowing way down in my veinsOh oh, I wish it would rainI know you've heard my storyOr seen me on the streetJust another cracker gigoloDressed up like trick or treatNow you may want to judge meOr treat me with disdainOh oh, I wish it would rainMemphis, Texas, Houston, TennesseeMan I'm just so turned aroundI don't know where I want to beThis California desert is driving me insaneOh, I wish it would rainSo I've squandered my resistanceTaking any kind of drugOh I'd smoke or shoot or eat it, I'd drink it from a jugAnd I offer no excuses for your sympathies to gainOh oh, I wish it would rainEverybody knows me as the kidI've made it seven years and still I don't know how I didI come from a long line of live and love in vainOh, I wish it would rainWell I've prayed to Mother MaryI've even seen a priestWhen the angels come to get meI know I'll be releasedI'll leave this mean ol' desert bound for Memphis on that trainOh oh, I wish it would rainOh oh, I wish it would rain
