I remember hearing roaring thunder
Startled me when I was just a boy
Woke me from my slumber
When it shook the earth with rolling, rumbling noise
My father wasn't one to talk semantics
His fears, it seemed, were never worldly ones
Thunder's just a warning, comes with lightning
When those tears begin to run
It's just rain
It ain't gonna hurt you none
It's just rain
Little water do you some good
Well, I left my job at that old dreary warehouse
Needed to get outside and walk around
When you're cooped up inside
You get to missing all them different sights and sounds
As I walked the sky was prying open
Before I knew it, it had washed me clean
The girl behind the counter said You poor thing, youre soaked"
I said "Honey, that aint the worst thing that I been
When all that's left of me is stone and ashes
Or they dig a hole to make my final home
When I run out all my options
And I find out what it means to be alone
I'll look up at you as you are crying
Looking over all the years you gave
The thunder cracks the clouds
And goes to wash all of those tears into my grave
