Rustin' In The Rain

I have gee'd and haw'd

Myself into a tizzy

I am yearning for the turning

In the most peculiar way

Blame it on my jeans

Caked in tenant farming

But I can't stand for idle hands

As the hours waste away

Let your love light shine

Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby

Take 'at wick to task

And work me all night 'neath the flame

I am yours to use

And I sure wish you would use me

Do not let my heart just fall apart

Rustin' in the rain

I'm a hillside plow

Working one way, then the other

I don't run around in circles

I work right on up the side

Startin' at the foot

Going past the shoulder

Till the sweat erodes

And the whole hill slides

Let your love light shine

Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby

Take 'at wick to task

Work me all night 'neath the flame

I am yours to use

And I sure wish you would use me

Do not let my heart just fall apart

Rustin' in the rain

I have gee'd and haw'd

For you, and it sure suits me

I am pawing with impatience

At the thought of tracin' chains

I have grit my bit

Right in half from just a-thinkin'

Of gettin' hunkered down

Tryin' to get up through the hames

Let your love light shine

Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby

Take that wick to task

Work me all night 'neath the flame

I am yours to use

And I sure wish you would use me

Do not let my heart just fall apart

Rustin' in the rain

Do not let my heart just fall apart

Rustin' in the rain
