Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

When I first come down here from the country
Came to the fork in the road
One way went nowhere
And the other, it carried a heavy load

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

Your eyes and mind are always looking for trouble
What if it permeates the brain?
Try to take a shortcut home
And you end up back where you started again

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

Hurry down the alley with another man's woman
You don't care nothing about the ring on her hand
You think surely you can get away
And sometimes maybe you can

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

You're all just a bunch of lousy liars
Never seen a hypocrite before
Then you would love to judge each other
But hypocrites we are forever more

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

So we jiggle up the horse race
Oh man, that desire to win
Keeps our bellies so hungry
And we all want to repent in the end

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall
