Rain Came Down

"The Rain Came Down" Performed by Steve Earle Written by Steve Earle and Michael Woody Originally From the Album "Exit 0" but I got it from "Essential Steve Earle" Transcribed By William "Bo" Leach Intro (2X) The old man loaded up everything that he owned in a wagon and headed out west The old woman fearless to face the unkown cause she figured he knew what was best And they settled down hard on a government grant, with 6 mouths to feed and 40 acres to plant CHORUS..................................................................... ............. And the rain came down Like an angel sent down from above And the Rain came down Well once it starts there aint never enough ........................................................................... ............. VERSE 2 Fall turn to Winter another year gone over and over again Some took their lives from the land and moved on some stayed on to plow it back in And the Good Lord He giveth and He taketh away And the restless shall go and the faithfull shall stay REPEAT CHORUS solo (2x) Bridge: Well my grandfather died in the room he was born in 23 summers ago But I could've sworn he's beside me this mornin' when the sheriff showed up at my door So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man Cause you can have the machines but you aint taken my land Repeat Chorus Repeat intro (4X) >From the Heart of the Bluegrass Home of the 1998 and 7-time National Champion KY Wildcats GO BIG BLUE!!!!
