“I Sure Can Smell the Rain” peaked at #8 on the country charts for Blackhawk. This song is about a man who knows a break-up is coming in his relationship. His wife or girlfriend hasn’t said anything or really done anything to make him feel this way, but he can just feel it coming.
[Verse 1]
She hasn't done a thing
That really has to mean she's going anywhere
I haven't seen it showing in her eyes
But I swear it must be there
[Verse 2]
I don't know why I feel it so strong
But I feel it just the same
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky
But I sure can smell the rain
[Verse 3]
She'd still say "I love you" if I ask
But she never volunteers
Somehow what she never says
Means more than all the other words I hear
[Verse 4]
Still she should win an Oscar
If she's lying when she says that nothing's changed
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky
But I sure can smell the rain
[Bridge]
Every day I brace myself
To hear the words I'm scared she's gonna say
And every night I thank the Lord
Somehow I dodged the bullet one more day
[Verse 5]
Sometimes there are things a man just knows
That he really can't explain
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky
But I sure can smell the rain
[Tag]
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky
But I sure can smell the rain
