"Rain (Philadelphia Rain)" lyrics

Out of the sandpit filled up with debris
Out where the dirt bikes had been
Out where the green grass did never care to be
Once a boy stood a-growing
His blonde hair blowing
His young days were flowing happily

Don't get much off time a-doing what I do
It's day in and out of the same song
Outrageous lanes and the errors keep me blue
With the wolves all huffing
They don't care nothing
They can't stop that puffing pushing through

Philadelphia rain is falling down
It's falling on the leaves on the ground
Oh, it's a strong old history there
Past hangs a whispery town

I turn on some good news
The bad news shouldn't count
A boy's gotta have some fun
Out climbing hard at them a-cliffs you can't surmount
Yes, you fall into hating
You can't stand the waiting
It's all frustration, you got to let it out

Wheels, time, days, burn
Towards a bleak December
Past the fading embers
Of this sunshine living

Well, it sounds good to hear my sweetheart on the phone
That is to hear her laugh
I don't like to go, Lord, and to leave her all alone
But that's my living
It's the way of the given
And boys I'm a-driven pushing on

Philadelphia rain is falling down
Falling on a road that's leaving town
Ooh, and the cold chrome fenders
While the toll booth tenders frown
