Verse 1

 The scene was a small roadside café

 The waitress was sweeping the floor

Two truck drivers drinking their coffee

 And two Okie kids by the door

Verse 2

“How much are them candies?” they asked her

 “How much have you got?” she replied

“We’ve only a penny between us”

 “Them’s two for a penny” she lied

Chorus

 And the daylight grew heavy with thunder

 With the smell of the rains on the wind

 Ain’t it just like a human

 Here comes that rainbow again

Verse three

(A tone higher)

 One truck driver called to the waitress

 After the kids went outside

“Them candies ain’t two for a penny”

 “So what’s it to you?” she replied

Verse 4

 In silence they finished their coffee

 And got up and nodded goodbye

 She called, “Hey you left too much money”

 “So what’s it to you?” they replied

Chorus bis

 And the daylight was heavy with thunder

 With the smell of the rains on the wind

 Ain’t it just like a human

 Here comes that rainbow again

 Ain’t it just like a human

 Here comes that rainbow again.
