Arkansas Rain
by Richard Lawry
Two lanes
Heart pains
Empty Coke can
In the cup holder
Feeling low
Dashboard glow
Clouds in the sky
Like a cold shoulder
Road sign says
I'm near Hot Springs
Wipers slap
A tired refrain
Headlights shine
On ghostly things
And the rain starts up again
Driving through
The Arkansas rain
Taillights shimmering
In a silver vein
Thunder rolling
Like it knows my name
But it can't explain
Why all the cracks
On this broken windshield
Are spelling out your name
I'm just driving
Through the Arkansas rain
White lines
Tall pines
Headlights flicker
As the road drifts by
Reveries
Sad memories
A soulful song
Makes me start to cry
Reminders of
Last summers trips
Eureka Springs
The Crescent Hotel
Your sweet breath
Still on my lips
And the rain starts up again
Driving through
The Arkansas rain
Taillights shimmering
In a silver vein
Thunder rolling
Like it knows my name
But it can't explain
Why all the cracks
On this broken windshield
Are spelling out your name
I'm just driving
Through the Arkansas rain
I let the cruise hold steady
While my heart hits the brakes
Driving in the Arkansas rain
I could turn back
I could call you
But I'm just driving on
In the Arkansas rain
Driving through
The Arkansas rain
Taillights shimmering
In a silver vein
Thunder rolling
Like it knows my name
But it can't explain
Why all the cracks
On this broken windshield
Are spelling out your name
I'm just driving
Through the Arkansas rain
Driving on through
The Arkansas rain
Yeah
I keep driving
I keep on driving
Driving
Through the Arkansas rain
