Standing in the Rain
I'm standing in the rain.
I'm waiting on a train.
I gotta get outta this town--
Gotta get out and move around.
You're gone now,
So I got no reason to hang around.
Gotta get outta this rain--
Or is this only tears falling outta my eyes,
Falling outta my eyes because of all your lies?
Here comes the train now,
So I'm gonna be leaving town.
Won't nobody be seeing me hanging around--
Waiting for somebody that won't be coming around anyhow.
