[Intro]
Hold back the rain

[Verse 1]
So what if the words ain't rhymin'?
Did you think that it's just a game?
And I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn

[Verse 2]
Okay, go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again

[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter, and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain

(Hold back the rain) (Oooo-ooo)
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter, and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain), hold back the rain, (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain, (Hold back the rain), hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain), hold back the rain

Hey, hey, hold back the rain

[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
The clouds all scatter, and we ride the outside lane
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain)
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter, and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain

Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain
