I KNOW RAIN

CHORUS: I KNOW RAIN
I KNOW HEARTBREAK, I KNOW PAIN
I KNOW RAIN
LONESOME YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN
I CAN PUT YOUR BLUES TO SHAME
DON'T KNOW MUCH BUT I KNOW RAIN

VERSE 1: YOU SAY YOUR LOVER LEFT YOU
AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY YOU'RE GONNA TURN
I'VE BEEN IN THE FRYING PAN
I JUMPED IN THE FIRE AND I GOT BURNED
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
AND REALLY YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ASHAMED
I AM NOT A STRANGER
WHEN IT COMES TO TROUBLE, BOY, DO I KNOW RAIN

VERSE 2: YOU SAY YOU LOST YOUR DARLIN'
IT HAPPENS TO YOU ALMOST EVERY TIME
MY MOMMA ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT
A TRUE LOVE CAN BE AWFUL HARD TO FIND
THE SUN DON'T SHINE ON EVERY DOG
THAT'S WALKING DOWN THE STREET IS WHAT THEY CLAIM
I'M A WALKING THUNDERSTORM
BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU I KNOW RAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: DON'T SING A SONG OF SORROW
'CAUSE TOMORROW MIGHT JUST BE A BETTER DAY
KEEP WALKING IN THE SUNSHINE
AND THE WIND WILL COME AND BLOW YOUR BLUES AWAY
I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM TRAVELING
I FIGURED THAT I HAD IT ALL TO GAIN
I DIDN'T ALWAYS GET INSIDE
AND MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON I KNOW RAIN

TAG: I'M A WALKING THUNDERSTORM
BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU I KNOW RAIN
