Don't it seem to rain a lot in our lives
A dark cloud always seems to hide our blue skies
Yet this Texas sun has burned its way right through my brain
Now my job is done and hard times follow just like rain

California seems to be the place to go
Dreams out there come true they say it's time to go
But our California dreams turned out to be just lies
Don't it seem to rain a lot in our lives

But somewhere we'll find new dreams and sunshine
Green fields and blue skies where blue birds fly
Where the only rain is a summer shower to cool the night
Yes somewhere there's new dreams and sunshine

Last night I went to Tennessee in new dreams
Where cotton jumped into your sack and money grew from trees
But when I awoke and found I had dream and almost cried
Don't it seem to rain a lot in our lives

But somewhere we'll find new dreams and sunshine
