James McMurtry - Walk Between the Raindrops lyrics

Don't know what's gotten into you Must be something in your genes About this time I was crazy, too And most times in between But I survived to live another day I might have learned a trick or two So just remember when your old and your gray Some of what I taught to you Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger Keep a line open to the folks back home Don't run and hide when everything changes Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone You're laying low, staying outta sight Hanging out in your room You're up all night by the monitor's light And sleeping through the afternoon Well, I won't tell you how you gotta be You're old enough to make a choice It's just that in between all the words on the screen I doubt you'll ever hear a human voice Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger Keep a line open to the outside world Don't run and hide when everything changes Walk between the raindrops smooth as a pearl You're at that age and you know it all And you're not even hearing what I say Knowing better never kept me outta trouble I don't care I'm gonna tell you anyway Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger Keep a line open to the folks back home Don't run and hide when everything changes Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger Keep a line open to the folks back home Don't run and hide when everything changes Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone
