/

about

The first single from EXILE IN AMERICANA, "Waiting on the Rain," a story of running away to fix your problems, and well… Yeah, good luck with that.

lyrics

WAITING ON THE RAIN

There's a hunger in this land
If you were dying of thirst then you'd understand
How all of our hopes and all the dreams that we have
Are still not enough to fill our hands

Waitin on the rain in El Paso
Waitin on the rain in Phoenix
Waitin on the rain in Las Vegas (and I'm so broke)
Waitin on the rain, waitin on the rain

Now time falls fast when it's burning away
Time brakes hard when you're losing again
There's no peace in holding onto anger they say
Or looking back the same way

Waitin on the rain in Scottsdale
Waitin on the rain at Art Queen in Joshua Tree
Waitin on the rain in Albuquerque (and I'm so lost)
Waitin on the rain, waitin on the rain

When you were lost inside
And I was tossed aside
Like a scared bird in a hurricane

And it took everything
Everything I had
Not to be crying out your name

The road’s laid out in front of me
Widescreen like a big TV
I’m not changing channels I’m merely switching lanes
And onto the road where I wanna be

Waitin on the rain in Sunrise Manor
Waitin on the rain in Carson City
Waitin on the rain in Yuma (the City of Hope)
Waitin on the rain, waitin on the rain
