Lyrics James McMurtry

James McMurtry

Walk Between The Raindrops

Don't know what's gotten into you

Must be something in your genes

About this time I was crazy, too

And most times in between

But I survived to live another day

I might have learned a trick or two

So just remember when your old and your gray

Some of what I taught to you

Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger

Keep a line open to the folks back home

Don't run and hide when everything changes

Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone

You're laying low, staying outta sight

Hanging out in your room

You're up all night by the monitor's light

And sleeping through the afternoon

Well, I won't tell you how you gotta be

You're old enough to make a choice

It's just that in between all the words on the screen

I doubt you'll ever hear a human voice

Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger

Keep a line open to the outside world

Don't run and hide when everything changes

Walk between the raindrops smooth as a pearl

You're at that age and you know it all

And you're not even hearing what I say

Knowing better never kept me outta trouble

I don't care I'm gonna tell you anyway

Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger

Keep a line open to the folks back home

Don't run and hide when everything changes

Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone

Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger

Keep a line open to the folks back home

Don't run and hide when everything changes

Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone

Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone

Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone
