Artist/Band: Tom T. Hall
Lyrics for Song: It Rained in Every Town Except Paducah
Lyrics for Album: I Wrote a Song About It [Mercury] [1975]



(Tom T. Hall)



Worked construction for a while in St. Louis

I was helping build a great big new motel

It rained so much I couldn't make the payments

I sold my car it didn't run too well.



Got a job at makin' stoke ice in Ohio

But it rained so much I moved along again

It never seemed to rain when you were with me

Or I just didn't notice rain back then.



Oh, it rained in every town except Paducah

In a way it reminds me of you

It rained in every town except Paducah

Then one day it rain in Paducah too.



--- Instrumental ---



Got a job at stringin' wire down in Atlanta

Didn't rain too much but there's a constant mist

I read two books and learned to play canasta

Till I got bored and I gave it up for this.



I rode that stream machine out the fairground

I lost some ways but then I put it back

It rained as I was walking back to Pete Street

I used to be afraid of things like that.



Oh, it rained in every town except Paducah

In a way it reminds me of you

It rained in every town except Paducah

Then one day it rain in Paducah too...
