Weather

«Bringin on the weather
He carves a wake
Through the dark belly of the night
With the thunderhead column
Following behind him
For the forced march into Morningside
Deep in Texas
Summer’s hotter
Than she can recall
And she’s been dried up lately
From the cryin
Through the alcohol
There’s the drone of the diesel below
The whiteness of the silence from his radio
Oh, he’s a man behind the wheel
Pushin on, she’s callin
Bringin on the weather
With his mind on her and Morningside
He measures himself in miles
Until one day by the laundry wire
She saw the thunderheads and heard
The drone of the diesel below
The whiteness of the silence from his radio
Oh, he’s a man behind the wheel
Pushin on, she’s callin
Bringin on the weather
And there’s a tired man
Standin with his girl in the rain
But there’s a diesel runnin in the driveway
Don’t you know he’s got another run to make
But it won’t take him far
And at least some rain came
At least some rain came
At least some rain came
Came on with the weather
There’s the drone of the diesel below
The whiteness of the silence from his radio
Oh, he’s a man behind the wheel
Pushin on, she’s callin
And there’s the drone of the diesel below
The whiteness of the silence from his radio
Oh, he’s a man behind the wheel
Pushin on, she’s callin
Bringin on the weather
Bringin on the weather
