The scene was a small roadside cafe. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
Ain't it just like a human? |
|
Here comes that rainbow again. |
