When It Rains On My Tin Roof House Lyrics - Singles - Noah Pine

WHEN IT RAINS ON TIN ROOF HOUSE 

i planted a seed in the ground 

the warm summer rain comes down 

barefoot in the mud, a girl i once knew 

i think she lives in the bog 

that seed washed into the sea 

a white seagull ate thee, landed in a tree 

eaten by natives of the Okeefenokee swamp. 

I am working on the highway, it's hot 

too hot to trot 

when the day is through 

i go home and love my family too 

the next day i get up and do it all again. 

you'll love the way it sounds when it rains on my tin roof house 

Mr. Banker is the bank closed 

I have army bags full of dough 

Do not know when the power is coming back on 

flares from the sun tickle my tongue 

i take off my 1987 grey armani suit 

and my black korean alligator shoes 

barefoot in the mud, a girl i once saw 

i think she lives in the bog 

it's a long strange trip 

always some science fiction apocalyptic ending 

i do not think there is an end 

the next day i get up and do it all again 

I have to start good habits soon 

push the bad ones to the moon 

I do not assume anything about anybody 

I do not talk against thyself or anybody 

but I have to have it my way 

maybe that is why I have been working so many years on the highway 

I still be burning inside with desire 

wouldn't know how to quit a dream even if an entire army stood in front of me 

barefoot in the mud 

a girl i once saw
