Thirsty in the Rain Lyrics

version by Keller Williams
chord shapes : low to high
(Intro)
(verse)
Theres an eagle and he keeps on flying
over the mountains capped in white snow.
In green valleys, lonesome people trying
so hard to tell each other what they think they know.
With greedy hands they take each others money
Just to buy back his helpless pains. (not sure of this last word)
(chorus)
in
In this land of flowing milk and honey
we wander thirsty in the rain.
Thirsty in the rain.
(verse)
Just like that eagle, now my soul is flying
over the valleys in the crimson morning sky.
And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard
and there don't seem to be no reasons why.
Well i must fight you for the rich mans money
so I can buy back his helpless pains. (not sure here either)
(chorus)
in
Seems so useless and somehow funny,
to be thirsty in the rain.
Thirsty in the rain.
(mandolin break = verse chords)
(1 chorus, no words)
(verse)
Fare thee well, now my own true lover,
my face you will never see it no more.
But there is one promise that is given
that I will meet you on that shiny golden shore.
Golden shore, love where the eagle soars
so high above the fruitful plain.
(chorus)
in
I'm the same friend that you knew when
we wandered thristy in the rain.
Thirsty in the rain.
Thirsty in the rain.
Thirsty in the rain.
