lyrics

Hitchhiking out in the rain, I see no cause to complain,
My tears have dried, deep down inside
I’m seeing blue skies again

I lost my baby out here, I searched the town everywhere,
No goodbye card, Been raining hard, (but)
My clouds are starting to clear,

I hung my head everyday, I guess I lost the good way,
My spirit felt small, So tired of it all, I prayed
God would send blue skies my way,

She's found a new love I'm told, while I had no one I could hold,
And I heard tell, she was doing well,
While I was left out in the cold,

My poor tired eyes have gone red, from all of the booze in my head,
I ain’t got a dime and I’m drunk all the time,
And I’m seeing blue skies ahead,

My footsteps fell hard on the floor, and I swore not to smile anymore,
I lose my mind when the world is unkind,
And my world's been unkind before,

Like the oak trees I tried standing tall, when leaves spiral down in the fall,
But I couldn't see just how lonely I'd be
And so I thought of ending it all,

Like a raging wolf kept in a zoo, I was trapped in a cage with no view,
But I kicked on the wall and I heard one brick falling,
And I saw the sun shining through,

A dream and a pad and a pen, I planned out my whole life again,
One thousand bad days they're just all one big haze,
And I won't be remembering then,

My heart is now starting to mend, I've got all of my time left to spend,
With the poor of the land where I'm happier and
It won't hurt anymore in the end,

One more warm beer then I’ll go, and where I’m gone no one will no,
Love cost me tears, and I lost the years,
Waitin’ for blue skies to show,

Hitching out here all alone, the rain falling hard on the stones,
This kind of rain it don’t cause any pain,
I’ve had some rain of my own,

Hitching out here in the rain, no use in pounding my brain,
Note on my door, I’m not trying anymore,
I’m seeing blue skies again,

My tears are dried, and deep down inside,
I’m seeing blue skies again.
