"I Won't Believe It's Never Gonna Rain" lyrics

You tell me that you're leaving
This drought has got you down
It's easy to believe that it's so
What once was fine has withered on the vine
There's only dirt where pastures used to grow

But I won't believe it's never gonna rain
This wide brown land can still be green again
You can tell me that I'm crazy, holding on in vain
But I won't believe it's never gonna rain

Our savings for a rainy day have dried up in the sun
Crops are gone and cattle slowly fade
When there's only you and I beneath this heartless sky
I believe that I'm the one who wants to stay

But I won't believe it's never gonna rain
This dry old land can still be green again
You can tell me that I'm crazy, holding on in vain
But I won't believe it's never gonna rain
No I won't believe it's never gonna rain
Sometimes it's slow, but seasons always change
You can tell me that you're leaving
But I'll hang in just the same
'Cause I won't believe it's never gonna rain

You tell me I'm not listening
I just won't understand how this drought
Will wash our family down the drain
Well I'll believe that only stubborn people settle on this land

But I won't believe it's never gonna rain
No I won't believe it's never gonna rain
This wide brown land can still be green again
You can tell me that you're leaving
But I'll hang in just the same
'Cause I won't believe it's never gonna rain
No I won't believe it's never gonna rain
