You tell me that you're leaving This drought has got you down It's easy to believe that it's so What once was fine has withered on the vine There's only dirt where pastures used to grow But I won't believe it's never gonna rain This wide brown land can still be green again You can tell me that I'm crazy, holding on in vain But I won't believe it's never gonna rain Our savings for a rainy day have dried up in the sun Crops are gone and cattle slowly fade When there's only you and I beneath this heartless sky I believe that I'm the one who wants to stay But I won't believe it's never gonna rain This dry old land can still be green again You can tell me that I'm crazy, holding on in vain But I won't believe it's never gonna rain No I won't believe it's never gonna rain Sometimes it's slow, but seasons always change You can tell me that you're leaving But I'll hang in just the same 'Cause I won't believe it's never gonna rain You tell me I'm not listening I just won't understand how this drought Will wash our family down the drain Well I'll believe that only stubborn people settle on this land But I won't believe it's never gonna rain No I won't believe it's never gonna rain This wide brown land can still be green again You can tell me that you're leaving But I'll hang in just the same 'Cause I won't believe it's never gonna rain No I won't believe it's never gonna rain
