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.
|
"We've only a penny between us."
|
"Them's two for a penny," she lied.
|
|
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder,
|
With the smell of the rain on the wind.
|
Ain't it just like a human?
|
Here comes that rainbow again.
|
|
One truck driver called to the waitress,
|
After the kids went outside.
|
"Them candies ain't two for a penny,"
|
"So what's it to you?" she replied.
|
|
In silence they finished their coffee.
|
Got up and nodded goodbye.
|
She called,"Hey, you left too much money."
|
"So what's it to you?" they replied.
|
|
And the daylight was heavy with thunder,
|
With the smell of the rain on the wind.
|
Ain't it just like a human?
|
Here comes that rainbow again.
|
Ain't it just like a human?
|
Here comes that rainbow again.
