Lookin' At The River In The Rain

Lightnin' strikin' up and down the point,

Lights go dim in Lonnie's pier point joint,

Satisfaction's near the window pane,

Just lookin' at the river in the rain.

Got some things I'm 'sposed to do tonight,

If I don't though it'll be alright,

Got an answer if I must explain,

I was lookin' at the river in the rain.

Well, the girl I gave my name to claims I'm crazy.

She can talk like that 'cause she's completely sane.

Back in town she got her bags and packed,

Said she's leavin' and she wont be back,

Let 'er hustle for that ev'ning plane,

I'll keep lookin' at the river in the rain.

Well, the girl I gave my name to claims I'm crazy.

She can talk like that 'cause she's completely sane.

Guess I'll sit an' get completely gone,

Hope it thundershowers all night long.

All I ask is I can please remain

Just lookin' at the river in the rain.

Just lookin' at the river in the rain.
