[Verse 1]

Rain coming down on the Silverado

The good Lord gon' spilled the bottle

Crick rose up to Rambo Hollow

But we need the rain

Wind howlin' like a crowded dog pound

A lot of water gonna swamp this po' town

Homeward bound river washed the road out

But we need the rain

[Chorus 1]

This rain won't let up (let up)

Gettin' down with the get up (get up)

This rain won't let up

But they say we need the rain

[Verse 2]

Storm cloud just seems to follow

Pretty much everybody I know

So they pour, shoot, swish, and swallow

Saying they need the rain

Prayin' for the sunshine bright tomorrow

Lookin' for a break, beg, steal, or borrow

The holler bogged down now drowned in sorry

But we need the rain

[Chorus 2]

This rain won't let up (let up)

Gettin' down with the get up (get up)

This rain won't let up

But they say we need the rain

This rain won't let up (let up)

Gettin' down with the get up (get up)

This rain won't let up

But they say we need the rain
