Here Comes That Rainbow Again
Kris Kristofferson
The scene was a small roadside cafe
The waitress was sweeping the floor
Two truck-drivers drinking their coffee
And two okie-kids by the door
How much are them candies, they asked her
How much have you got, she replied
We have only a penny between us
Them's two for a penny, she lied
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Isn't it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again
One truck driver called to the waitress
After the kids went outside
Them candies are not two for a penny
So what's it to you, she replied
In silence they finished their coffee
Got up and nodded goodbye
She called, hey you left too much money
So what's it to you, they replied
