The scene was a small roadside cafe The waitress was sweepin' the floor Two truck-drivers drinkin' 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've 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 Ain't it just like a human Here comes that rainbow again
One truckdriver 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 In silence they finished their coffee Got up and nodded godbye She called, hey, you left too much money So what's it to you, they replied
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder And the smell of the rain on the wind Ain't it just like a human Here comes that rainbow again.
