Writer(s): Wayne Perry and Joe Diffie

G
I hope the clouds are gathering
C
Around her house tonight
G
She's putting on her makeup
D7
And Lord she's looking right

G
I know just where she's headed
C
And I know my part ain't there
G
So I pray for rain cause my old flame
D7 G
Is out burning down the town

D7
The fire still burns but the table turned
C G
She don't yearn for me
D7
Somewhere tonight she's glowing bright
C D7
For all the world to see

G
Oh Lord don't let her do it
C
Please turn her heart around
G
I'm praying for rain cause my old flame
D7 G
Is out burning down the town

D7
Each night I spend without her
C
Leaves no room for doubt
G
That all these tears from crying
D7
Never put her out

G
Lord I know she's burning
C
Cause the smoke is all around
G
I'm praying for rain cause my old flame
D7 G
Is out burning down the town

Repeat #3,4

C G
I'm on my knees begging please
D7 G
To send some rain downtown
