lyrics

all we’ve been getting is rain these days
the water’s so high I can't see my legs
I had to buy a canoe to get back to you
then I went and threw the paddles away

sometimes all you want is a little dry land
a break in the tide to give relief to the sand
a little hole in your shoe and you’re soaked right through
I guess you know what makes me think of you

I’d rather sit right here in this boat
than listen to another single line of this joke
I didn't think it was funny till I figured you out
guess who's laughing now

I didn't think I'd get so high that I'd be fallin'
I didn't think a little rain could take down every thing

things were looking up and I was optimistic
if there was a sign you know I must've missed it
then the sky opened up and that's when I knew
I've done just about all I can do
I've done just about all I can do

I’d rather sit right here in this boat
than listen to another single line of this joke
I didn't think it was funny till I figured you out
guess who's laughing now

you know ever since that muddy water started to flow
all those little cracks they've been starting to show
ain't it amazing what you learn to ignore
till you just can't take any more
I just can't take any more

it seems that until now it's been a slow leak
and I could always bail you out
but now you'd better find somebody who can laugh at your jokes
cause I'm through foolin' around
I said, I'm through foolin' around

I didn't think I'd get so high that I'd be fallin'
I didn't think a little rain could take down every thing

Excellent. You sound so different. A bit Elvis Costello and Elliot Smith in there. An urban album. Great clean sound. Love Holidays. More, please? Roy Greer

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes

supported by 5 fans who also own “A Little Rain”

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
