Highwaymen
Here Comes That Rainbow Again
Verse 1:
The scene was a small roadside café
The waitress was sweeping the floor
Two truck drivers drinking their coffee
And two Okie kids by the door
Verse 2
“How much are them candies?” they asked her
“How much have you got?” she replied
“We’ve only a penny between us”
“Them’s two for a penny” she lied
Chorus
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
With the smell of the rains on the wind
Ain’t it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again
Verse three: (A tone higher)
One truck driver called to the waitress
After the kids went outside
“Them candies ain’t two for a penny”
“So what’s it to you?” she replied
Verse 4
In silence they finished their coffee
And got up and nodded goodbye
She called, “Hey you left too much money”
“So what’s it to you?” they replied
Chorus bis:
And the daylight was heavy with thunder
With the smell of the rains on the wind
Ain’t it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again
Ain’t it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again.
