It Should Be Raining Today

Drove from LA to Reno just to say my goodbye

And for hours on the highway I was tryin' not to cry

The sun's softly shining and the cottonwoods sway

But the way that I'm feelin'

It should be raining today

We drove it together, Highway 395

In a rusty Toyota, can't believe we survived

We were talking and laughing and singing away

Now I feel dark and cloudy

It should be raining today

It should be raining today, not a cloud in the sky

And the sun burns like fire and the blue sky's a lie

I've been nothing but lonely since you passed away

And the way that I'm feelin'

It should be raining today

Now all that you left me is this Gibson Guitar

The one you were picking in that North Hollywood bar

You put it in my hands, and you taught me to play

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

It should be raining today

I can feel every mark your fingers left in the wood

And I practice for hours like you told me I should

But I can't match the rhythm of that lick you would play

And I'm forgetting the chords

It should be raining today

And the way that I'm feelin'

It should be raining today
