A Cat in the Rain Turnpike Troubadours

[Verse 1]
With a midnight sky and your big brown eyes, did you stumble on a pearl?
Wake me from a thousand-meter stare
With a halo hanging just a little too heavy and another evening’s curls
Mixed up with the morning in your hair
Like a country girl who came across a cat out in the rain
Like a country girl, you played it true to form
Gonna lay a little pity on a prodigal son who parted with his name
A little shelter for a stray out in a storm

[Chorus]
You can try to put the past behind
It’s on your clothes like burning pine
Is it gin or turpentine you keep in your canteen?
If pressure makes a diamond, babe, I still might come out clean

[Verse 2]
In the simplе solitary joy of temporary comfort
Well, I closed my еyes and felt I’d slept a hundred thousand years
Awaking I would disregard the terms of my surrender
Took every bad fork in the road and look who’s standing here
We were victims of eternal love for almost half a morning
Said I know you can’t go home again, but tell me where you land
Oh, here’s to yet another chance you get to be reborn
And here’s to greener, higher hills to make your final stand
