Cincinnati Rain

Well, maybe it's the red mud They smeared upon my name Them good old boys observe, but they don't play My lady built the framework She said, let 'em have their way That Cincinnati rain ain't here to stay You were young, she said Hold on if you're inclined But they were not the reason why you changed You were gone too long Caught up in fantasy Addicted to the memories you made She said, come on and dance with me Come on and live to be free Come on and lay it all down Come on and dance with me Come on and live to be free Come on and sing it out loud When everybody's willfully blind Don't bother wasting your time They'll never let you go They hide 'em in the suburbs Lock all their doors and pray Entitled boys with nothing but the day Open up your mind, son They worked and paved the way But you'd kick a man who's down on luck instead You were young, she said Hold on if you're inclined But they were not the reason why you changed You were gone too long Caught up in fantasy A victim to the memories you made She said come on and dance with me Come on and live to be free Come on and lay it all down Come on and dance with me Come on and live to be free Come on and say it out loud When everybody's willfully blind Don't bother wasting your time They'll never let you go When all this time I'm running wild You held me close, you're so damn fine I never let you know
