[Verse 1: Warren Haynes]
Do you know me
I'm the drivin' rain
And my mama was a hurricane
Dear old daddy, before he stormed out high on window pane
Said, "You're my one and only boy child
Call you the drivin' rain

[Chorus: Warren Haynes]
Drivin' rain, drivin' rain
T-t-talkin' 'bout the drivin' rain
Pretty women say it drives them insane
But they all want to know me
I'm the drivin' rain

[Verse 2: James Hetfield]
It all started back in '69
Yeah, I hit the ground running
Couldn't wait to hear those gears grind
Just like my daddy, I'm stone cold out of my mind
I've been around this world one, two, three, four, five hundred times

[Chorus: James Hetfield]
Drivin' rain, drivin' rain
I'm t-t-talkin' 'bout the drivin' rain
Pretty women say it drives them insane
But they all want to know me
Yeah, I'm the drivin' rain
[Guitar Solo: Warren Haynes]

[Verse 3: Warren Haynes and James Hetfield]
Do you remember first time you heard that thunder call
Wind was moaning, creeping through your bedroom wall
Moonlight splashing, enough to make a rich girl fall
Lightning crashing, make a strong, strong woman crawl

[Chorus: Warren Haynes and James Hetfield]
Drivin' rain, drivin' rain
T-t-talkin' 'bout the drivin' rain
Drivin' rain, drivin' rain
T-t-talkin' 'bout the drivin' rain

Pretty women say it drives them insane
But they all want to know me
Yeah, I'm the drivin' rain
