I thought I grew out of the Midwest
At least that’s what I said
When I left her standing in the doorway
Calling after to me when I drove off to old Tennessee
You were good to me
When we moved differently
It took a toll on things

I’m counting the rooftops on the way home
Watching the rain clouds set the stage
Waiting for thunder
Listen for my mother
It’s no rain no flowers
No rain no flowers

Try to settle down
I don't want to settle now
Maybe if I’m a second older
I’ll know exactly where to go
Cause I need a change of pace
Bend me before I break
If I keep praying for an answer
It may not help me
But it can’t hurt

Rooftops on the way home
Watching the rain clouds set the stage
Waiting for thunder
I’m not going under

Cause it's no rain no flowers
No Rain No Flowers
It’s no rain no flowers
Everything is backwards
Right always comes after I’m already wrong
It’s no rain no flowers
No rain no…
No rain no…
No rain no flowers
