Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall
When I first come down here from the country
Came to the fork in the road
One way went nowhere
And the other, it carried a heavy load
Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall
Your eyes and mind are always looking for trouble
What if it permeates the brain?
Try to take a shortcut home
And you end up back where you started again
Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall
Hurry down the alley with another man's woman
You don't care nothing about the ring on her hand
You think surely you can get away
Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall
You're all just a bunch of lousy liars
Never seen a hypocrite before
Then you would love to judge each other
But hypocrites we are forever more
Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall
So we jiggle up the horse race
Oh man, that desire to win
Keeps our bellies so hungry
And we all want to repent in the end
Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall
