A song about my home town.

I COULD GIVE A WHIT IF IT RAINS OR IF IT POURS
I DON’T CARE ONE BIT FOR THAT TEMPEST ON THE SHORE
LET STORM CLOUDS GATHER WHERE THEY WILL
I’LL SEE THEM ON THEIR WAY
NOTHING’S GONNA BRING ME DOWN
GONNA HAVE AN ADAMANT DAY

WELLS DRY CROPS ARE BROWN WORMS ARE STREAMING OVER GROUND
BANK MAN BEARS A FROWN , MORTGAGE IN HIS HAND
THERE’S NO MORE BLOOD HERE IN THIS STONE
SO SQUEEZE ME AS I SAY
NOTHING’S GONNA BRING ME DOWN
GONNA HAVE AN ADAMANT DAY

TRUCKS BROKE, MOWER TOO, WIFES IN BED WITH AN ASIAN FLU
YOUNG ONES FEELING BLUE THE DOG IS ON THE RUN
BAD FORTUNE PILES ITS CLAIM ON ME
I’LL HOLD UP COME WHAT MAY
NOTHING’S GONNA BRING ME DOWN
GONNA HAVE AN ADAMANT DAY

HARD TIMES ARE WEIGHING UPON MY DOOR
AIN’T GONNA LET IT BRING ME DOWN NO MORE

I COULD GIVE A WHIT IF IT RAINS OR IF IT POURS
I DON’T CARE ONE BIT FOR THAT TEMPEST ON THE SHORE
LET STORM CLOUDS GATHER WHERE THEY WILL
I’LL SEE THEM ON THEIR WAY
NOTHING’S GONNA BRING ME DOWN
GONNA HAVE AN ADAMANT DAY
