Roll up your window, honey, it's rainin' again
It's dark in the sky, dark in the sky
Make me feel funny, honey, it's dark in the sky
Rainin' again
Well, it's rainin' again, rainin' again
Roll up your window, baby, it's rainin' again
It's dark in the sky, dark in the sky
Make me feel funny, honey, it's dark in the sky

Musically, the recording captures the raw power of Petty's guitar work and the collaborative spirit of his band, delivering a sound that remains instantly recognizable despite its departure from his earlier pop-punk era.
