[Verse 1]
Like a raging flood that ruins a poor man's land
You keep doing thing to hurt me all you can
But the thickness that we have is a-growin' thin
How much rain can one man stand?

[Chorus]
How much rain can one man stand?
I gave you everything but my right hand
If you don't want to love me then don't let me be your friend
How much rain can one man stand?

[Verse 2]
I can see them big old storm clouds a-movin' in
There's a stranger in your big brown eyes again
And you told him that I was just an old time friend
How much rain can one man stand?

[Chorus]
How much rain can one man stand?
I gave you everything but my right hand
Well, if you don't want to love me then don't let me be a friend
How much rain can one man stand?

[Refrain]
How much rain can one man stand?
