Brass Sky Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I gotta bent up truck, gotta fix-it-up 

So I set it on the backyard lawn 

Put the radio loud in the window 

I tuned it into rock 

Now I'm patiently waitin' on music 

But the DJ rambled and sang 

And it was blowin' in a brass sky 

But it won't rain 

A bright-eyed woman on the hour 

Brings a glass of tea 

And I can tell she's as pretty as a flower 

When she comes to me 

She winds away the water 

From my eyes and soothes my brain 

And it was blowin' in a brass sky 

But it won't rain

And it won't rain for tryin' 

And it won't rain for beans 

There's fear in the sky 

A big storm is what it means 

Waitin' out the weather 

By workin' on the truck 

We get to hang out together 

Can't believe this luck 

Glass is fine by the hour 

But don't match with mine 

It got wrecked playin' sailor in the shower 

Last Christmas time 

The song's written in another language 

But the weather forecast is plain 

It was blowin' in a brass sky 

But it won't rain 

Photos 

And it won't rain for tryin' 

And it won't rain for beans 

Well it's a bad day for flyin' 

But they won't fly with me 

Starin' at the boats and planes 

That are stayin' on the ground 

Another won't leave it's hidin' 

Til the wind turns 'round 

A bright-eyed woman in the kitchen 

Cooks up a kiss of death 

Boilin' up mango, crab and coconut 

And includin' cinnamon bread 

But she drops the pan and says 

Paranoia is out and breeds like a runaway train 

And it was blowin' in a brass sky 

But it won't rain 

And it won't rain for tryin' 

And it won't rain for beans 

Well it's a bad day for flyin' 

They won't fly with me, no 

Starin' at the boats and planes 

Stayin' on the ground 

Another won't leave it's hidin' 

Til the wind turns 'round
