It's a rain dirt town job hurts but it don't pay All these calls they're making me and driving you insane Don't you see Don't you understand Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am. You're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go I'm down here working on some dumb show In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those days you're not around It takes a big hearted girl from the North Country you can tell How you payed those bills and went through heaven and hell You cried and you travelled and you spat but you never asked Well how long how long how long is this pain You're on for three minutes trying hard to say hello I'm down here working on some dumb show Sitting at home listening to your radio Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show
