Here Comes That Rainbow Again Lyrics

Song by Kris Kristofferson

The scene was a small roadside café
The waitress was sweepin’ the floor
Two truck drivers drinkin’ their coffee
And two okie kids by the door

“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

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
With the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain’t it just like a human?
Here comes that rainbow again

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
In silence they finished their coffee
Then got up and nodded goodbye
She called, “Hey, you left too much money”
“So what’s it to you?” They replied

And the daylight was heavy with thunder
With the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain’t it just like a human?
Here comes that rainbow again

Sing Me Back Home Lyrics

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
“Let my guitar playing friend do my request”

Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, “There’s a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along?”

Sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

Won’t you sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die

It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere Lyrics

Song by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett

The sun is hot and that old clock
Is movin’ slow, and so am I
Work day passes like molasses
In winter time, but it’s July

Getting paid by the hour
And older by the minute
My boss just pushed me
Over the limit

I could call him something,
Think I’ll just call it a day

Pour me something tall and strong.
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve. But I don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

This lunch break is gonna take
All afternoon, half the night
Tomorrow morning I know there’ll be hell to pay
But, hey, that’s all right

I ain’t had a day off now, in over a year
My Jamaican vacation’s gonna start right here
If the phone’s for me you can just tell them
I just sailed away

Pour me something tall and strong. Make it a big boy drink i don’t wanna think
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve. But I don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab
And be back to work before two
At a moment like this, I can’t help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do

Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve, but I don’t care

Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve. But I don’t care, no i don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere
