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
Weve only a penny between us
Thems two for a penny, she lied
Chorus:
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Aint it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again
One truckdriver called to the waitress
After the kids went outside
Them candies aint two for a penny
So whats it to you, she replied
In silence they finished their coffee
Got up and nodded godbye
She called, hey, you left too much money
So whats it to you, they replied
Chorus:
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Aint it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again
