Curse the Sky Cody Jinks

[Verse 1]
Sometimes in the summer, it'll lightnin', it'll thunder
But the rain don't seem to come it rolls on by
Thunder sounds like laughter, as the lightning hits the pasture and you know that has lands been dry for some time
And it burns and it burns, oh it burns

[Verse 2]
The river it stopped flowin' back through town some time ago and the train tracks rest below a bed of weeds
The truck stop shut its door on the day that oil hit a hundred and four dollars a barrel
Yall then the grocery store came next and then the bank

[Bridge]
And it burns oh it burns, it burns
Oh it burns, yeah it burns, oh it burns

[Chorus]
You do the things you know to just to make it by the day
You can hear the kids a cryin', but there's just no time to play. You work the way you know how just the way you've always done and you'd like to curse the skies that bring no rain and block the Sun

[Bridge]
And it burns

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Sometimes when it's rainin' and there seems there ain't no stoppin' and a storm surge rushes past and all goes down
That river roars with laughter as it strips away the pasture land the home you built and work for your own hands
