Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
                                  G7

 C                                 F                       C  
Listen to that thunder roar can't hear that lonesome wind moan

Somebody said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
                              G7
With a big ole man from San Antoine
  C                                  F                      C
They tell me I'm a fool to pine for you, well, what do they know

Ain't nothin' I wanna do Lord I guess I could get stoned
                                   G7
Let the past paint pictures in my head
   C                               F                C
Kill a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song
                     G7                 C
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long
