[Intro - repeats once after each verse] D G D D A D [Verse]
D
When I was five years old

        G                  D
Lookin' through the window pane,

D
There was debt growin' in the fields,

       A               D
Every year it was the same,

D
There was burnt up corn,

        G       D
Livin' in a dusty haze,

D                           A
And daddy'd say good night son, I love you,

              D
And pray for rain.
[Verse 2]
D                                 G            D
Well, it was about mid-July when daddy's pride sank,

D                         A            D
He told my momma, he was goin' to the bank,

D                                    G              D
He put on his Sunday's best, but it didn't hide his pain,

D
The banker said take the money son,

         A               D
But you better, pray for rain.
[Verse 3]
D
Well there's no clouds to hide the sun,

                G             D
And there's no waters in the creeks,

D
And there's a fear in the congregation,

       A             D
Every Sunday when we meet,

D
That the devil's found West Texas

     G            D
And he may never leave,

D
The preacher gives his sermon,

     A                             D
Says pay your tithes and pray for rain.
[Verse 4]
D
Now my daddy's land is mine,

    G                    D
And times sure ain't the same,

D
The blacktop's taken over,

           A                 D
There's no room to grow the grain,

D
And now the man down at the bank

            G               D
Well he don't understand my pain,

D                                                A      
Cause he don't have to lay his head down every night,

                D
And pray for rain.
[Verse 5]

              D
And pray for rain.
