Southern Rain Lyrics - Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies

(Michael Timmins) 

The flies have quit their buzzing 

Even Bear has stopped his barking 

They all sense something brewing 

up the James and headed this way 

Bobby sips his morning coffee 

Says 'Have you finished with the funnies? 

Looks like a storm's coming honey 

guess we'll have to stay in bed today' 

I've heard that into every life 

a little of it must fall 

If there's any truth to the saying, 

Lord, let it be a southern rain

Marie was born in Macon, Georgia 

She met a west coast lawyer 

He plucked that sweet magnolia 

and carried her to the hills of West L.A. 

She says 'I never thought I'd tire of a dollar 

But this life has grown so hollow 

Every night there's lipstick on his collar 

and every morning I wash it away' 

She heard that into every life 

a little of it must fall 

So she spends her evenings praying 

for a little of that southern rain 

Cars alive on city streets 

of sparkling black water 

like waves beneath my window 

never break just roll away 

Tonight, this rain will be my lullaby 

these cars, my dreams 

to carry me home to stay 

Photos 

The wipers beat a rhythm 

Truck spray obscures my vision 

But I'm closing in on my destination 

Two more hours and I'll be at your door 

And it will never cease to amaze me 

how a little rain can drive folks crazy 

When I'd trade all my blue skies gladly 

for your blue eyes, crooked smile 

and a steady downpour 

I've heard that into every life 

a little of it must fall, 

but you'll never catch me complaining 

about too much of that southern rain
