[Verse 1]
I've got dust on my shoes
Need my crankcase drained
I've got dust on my shoes
Need my crankcase drained
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain

[Verse 2]
Well, the storm clouds roll in
My dog's pulling on his chain
Well, the storm clouds roll in
My dog's pulling on his chain
It's been a long dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain
Let it rain now, now

[Verse 3]
When I look at my field
Everything is cracked and flayed
I say I look at my field
Everything is cracked and flayed
And then I wonder to myself
How much can a poor man take?

[Verse 4]
If your well runs dry
You might lose your sugarcane, mm, that good sweet cane, babe
If your well runs dry
You might lose your sugarcane, mhm
Been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain
