I've got a gun in my holster And a horse between my knees
And I'm going two hours on down Pardon me, boys, if you please
I have been a Desperado I have vanished across the plains
And I'm going two hours on down I'm a rider in the rain
I'm a rider in the rain Just a rider in the rain
And I'm going two hours on down Just a rider in the rain
I've got a mother in St. Louis And a gal in Tennessee
But I'm going two hours on down You ain't gonna see no more of me
I used to work in Uncle's feed store Before he went away to war
But I'm going two hours on down Ain't gonna work for him no more
I'm a rider in the rain Just a rider in the rain
And I'm going two hours on down Just a rider in the rain
I'm a song of the prairie The winds that sweep across the plain
But I'm going to Arizona Just a rider in the rain
I'm a rider in the rain Just a rider in the rain
And I'm going to Arizona Just a rider in the rain
Yeah, I'm going to Arizona Just a rider in the rain
