by John Mellencamp Refrain: Someday the rains will fall When you expect it least Someday the rains will fall ------------ 2 x Refrain 1.) When I first come down here from the country Came to the fork in the road One way went nowhere And the other it carried a heavy load 2 x Refrain 2.) Your eyes and mind are always looking for trouble What if it permeates the brain? Try to take a shortcut home And you end up back where you started again 2 x Refrain 3.) Hurry down the alley with another man’s woman You don’t care nothing about the ring on her hand You think surely you can get away And sometimes maybe you can 2 x Refrain 4.) You’re all just a bunch of lousy liars Never seen a hypocrite before Then you would love to judge each other But hypocrites we are forever more 2 x Refrain 5.) So we jiggle up the horse race Oh man that desire to win Keeps our bellies so hungry And we all want to repent in the end 2 x Refrain
