Intro

Song Chords:

Turning tricks on sunset, twenty bucks a pop

 Some out of town old business man or an undercover cop

I'm living with a virus flowing way down in my veins

Oh I wish it would rain

I know you've heard my story or seen me on the street

Just another cracker gigolo dressed up like trick or treat

Now you may want to judge me or treat me with disdain

Oh I wish it would rain

Memphis, Texas; Houston, Tennesee

 Man I'm just so turned around I don't know where I want to be

This California desert is driving me insane

Oh I wish it would rain

So I've squandered my resistance, taking any kind of drug

 I'd smoke or shoot or eat it, I'd drink it from a jug

I offer no excuses for your sympathies to gain

Oh I wish it would rain

Everybody knows me as the kid

 I've made it seven years still I don't know how I did

I come from a long line of live and love in vain

Oh I wish it would rain

So I've prayed to mother Mary, I've even seen a priest

 When the angels come to get me, I know I'll be released

 I'll leave this mean old desert bound for Memphis on that train

Oh I wish it would rain (X2)
