slow, slow, slow

the dog day drags along

remembering the friends who've come and gone

down the road tempers runnin hot

but somethin sweet's stirrin in your pot

it's what you got that keeps me keeping on

went to the river and it looked like rain

i crossed the water and it looked like rain

can't find the use in taking

no time for excuses

waitin for the rain to fall

so long you feel you're not gonna make it thru another day

so long you'd rather be

anywhere but here, wastin away

thinkin bout tomorrow

and how slow the time goes

waitin for the rain to fall

it's the middle of September

and it's still hotter than I can remember

everybody's talkin bout how's it keep on gettin worse

but time only time will tell

time only time will tell

if one day soon that bubble gonna burst

went to the river and it looked like rain

i crossed the water and it looked like rain

turn on the radio

sit and watch the clouds roll

waitin for the rain to fall
