dylan's hard rain

ryan bingham

i'm a homeless man with my thumb in the wind

i sure miss my kin but then again

i'm on the road with a song for you. i took a step

i lost a bet

they cut off my tongue now they're full of regret

careful what you say if they ain't gonna listen anyway. just make the cash

bet on the past

everybody's so afraid to be last

you can't take back everything you leave behind. is everybody so ashamed

for letting it all slide. is everybody so afraid

mr. dylan's hard rain was fair warning. on a shake down in the alley

breaking people's faces gonna start you up a rally

i've never seen a day in the sun with gun

that's loaded for you. there's some hippies

in the back room

rockin' and a rollin' and a smoking to an old tune

someone took a guitar and a match

and set peace on fire. hey my brotha

what is wrong

you lost all your money on the corner rollin' bones

give him your cash motherfucker

he's too fast for you. is everybody so ashamed

for letting it all slide. is everybody so afraid

mr. dylan's hard rain was fair warning. on the t.v. there's a white man

too much make up on his wife with god's plan. i guess the religious vote

made it to congress. on the border of tijuana

people are growing truck loads of marijuana

maybe someday are friends will be american farmers. there's a necklace

in the south

a few hopeless people still hanging it around

the wind's gonna cut you down

in the long run. is everybody so ashamed

for letting it all slide. i won't be afraid

mr. dylan's hard rain cause it's boiling

fair warning. so can we save us

from today

the hands of the wretched are the ones getting paid

everything stays the same

if you don't change it. and all the dreams will bust at the seam

it all goes down in the mighty machine

you don't care now

but someday you might need it. i heard the whistle

start to blowin'

then i saw the mountain in the back come tumblin'

everybody's wishing they could get out of the way

everybody's wishing they could dig their ass out of the grave.
