Rain Drippin' Off The Brim Of My Hat


Well, guess what? The rain is back. Summer sure didn't last real long. Maybe it will be back by the weekend, I don't know. I hope so, 'cause me and the missus are headin' up to mountains for the weekend.

The picture above is one I took after a rain storm a while back.

Brings to mind some old lyrics from a Charley Pride song, way back when...

Rain dripping off the brim of my hat
it sure is cold today
and here I am'a walking down sixty-six
Wish she hadn't done me that way

Sleeping under a table at a road side park
A man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did
Sleepin in our king size bed

Chorus
Is anybody goin to San Antone
Or Phoenix Arizona
Anyplace is alright as long as I
Can forget I've ever known her

Wind whipping down the neck of my shirt
Like I aint got nothing on
But I'd rather fight the wind and rain
than what I've been fighting at home

Yonder comes a truck with the US mail
People writing letters back home
Tomorrow she'll probably want me back
But I'll still be just as gone

Chorus
Is anybody goin to San Antone
Or Phoenix Arizona
Anyplace is alright as long as I
Can forget I've ever known her

Anyplace is alright as long as I
forget I've ever known her

whistle to fade
