Lyrics
0:20It's a rain-dirt-town-job hurts but it don't pay
0:30All these calls they're making me and driving you insane
0:38Don't you see don't you understand
0:44Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all i am
0:50You're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go
0:57I'm down here working on some dumb show
1:03In a raintown raintown rain down
1:11On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
1:17In a raintown raintown rain down
1:23On all those days you're not around
1:32It takes a big hearted girl from the north country you can tell
1:38How you payed those bills and went through heaven and hell
1:45And you cried and you travelled and you spat but you never asked
1:50Well how long how long how long is this pain
1:58You're on for three minutes trying hard to say "hello"
2:04I'm down here working on some dumb show
2:11In a raintown raintown rain down
2:18On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
2:24A raintown raintown rain down
2:31On all those days you're not around
2:40Sitting at home listening to your radio
2:47Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show
2:57Raintown raintown rain down
3:03On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
3:09Raintown raintown rain down
3:16On all those days you're not around
3:23Raintown raintown rain down
3:29On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
3:35Raintown raintown rain down
3:42On all those days you're not around
3:47You're not around you're not around
It's a rain-dirt-town-job hurts but it don't pay All these calls they're making me and driving you insane Don't you see don't you understand Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all i am You're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go I'm down here working on some dumb show In a raintown raintown rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns In a raintown raintown rain down On all those days you're not around It takes a big hearted girl from the north country you can tell How you payed those bills and went through heaven and hell And you cried and you travelled and you spat but you never asked Well how long how long how long is this pain You're on for three minutes trying hard to say "hello" I'm down here working on some dumb show In a raintown raintown rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns A raintown raintown rain down On all those days you're not around Sitting at home listening to your radio Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show Raintown raintown rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns Raintown raintown rain down On all those days you're not around Raintown raintown rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns Raintown raintown rain down On all those days you're not around You're not around you're not around
