about

I wrote this song in my head while walking to work in the rain one day. The guitar tuning is open E Major.

lyrics

If you don't mind the rain he said
I got one toke left and it's got your name on it.
We'll share a drag in the alley
And watch it all come down.
We'll inhale cancerous tobacco,
Gonna exhale some cancerous conversation,
It's all just cancer anyway babe,
So who'd keeping score.

I never minded rain she said,
But I swear to God I've seen you around somewhere before.
Ain't that kind of funny,
I got one of them faces I guess.
And mind the police sirens,
There's a robbery going down at the gas station,
Oh they're going to steal something,
No one's ever going to miss.

If you don't mind the rain he said,
I got a photograph in my back pocket,
I'll take it out and I'll show it to you
if you promise not to laugh.
All these happy people they don't yet
Know what it's like to live a life in business casual,
They've got stupid smiling faces
And they're all just strangers to me.

If you don't mind the rain she said,
I've got a .45 kicking around in my purse somewhere,
We can fire it off in the valley,
And watch as the crows fly away.
I'll shut my eyes with each 'bang, bang',
And you can close your eyes to the sound of my heart,
Cause when all's said and done,
It's going to rain on our parade.

I never minded rain he said,
But I've never known that much about love anyway,
And it's getting kind of heavy,
Maybe I better step back inside.
You can't help when it rains she said,
And I've got just enough money for two tickets out of here,
So if you don't mind the rain,
Won't you come with me?
And I've got
