Story Behind the Song
I had bought a new 12 string and was fiddling around with it and came up with the opening lick. The first 2 verses came real easy, but the last one was like pulling teeth because I was'nt sure how I wanted this story to end. Finally I decided on a happy ending. Ahhh Shucks!!!
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
She was sittin' on her front porch
Listenin' to the news reports on the radio
Then he came home
He said girl we got to get movin' on
It's coming in quik and the winds are strong
Leave everything, that we own
(Pre-chorus 1)
Then they hit the crowded highway
He could tell that she was scared
She never been thru nothing like this before
She turned to him and said
(Chorus 1)
When will the rain end
When can we go home again
Darlin' can you tell me, ooohh, ooohh
When will the rain end
When can we go home again
Darlin' just hold my hand
(Verse 2)
The sky had turned from grey to black
He knew there was no turnin' back
They would ride it out, on the 95 south
So he pulled to the shoulder so he could
Hold her, Said dont worry baby it will
Soon be over, But even now
He had his doubts
(Pre-Chorus 2)
The car started to shake
As hell was just outside
He turned his head towards heaven
Then closed his eyes and said...
(Chorus 2)
When will the rain end
When can we go home again
Lord can you tell me, ooohh, ooohh
When will the rain end
When can we go home again
Lord please hold our hands
(Solo)
(Verse 3)
When the storm had finally broken down
They did their best to head back to town
They were so suprised, To find
The house was still standing there
It seemed that god had heard their prayers
Now they wont forget
What got them thru this
(End)
ooohh, ooohh, When will the rain end
ooohh, ooohh,
She was sittin on her front porch
listenin' to the news reports on the radio
then he came home
