Now and Then It’s Gonna Rain

It was a Southern Belle as I remember well
It was a vision of purity
Mama kept her reined in so tight
That she hardly had room to breathe

And she left her mama for college
She apparently lost her head
And the innocent soul lost all control
Went to dive in a water bed

Oh baby baby baby, mama won't be the same
Well the sun's gonna shine, ooh Lord
Now and then it's gonna rain

It was a Saturday night as I remember right
Something happened you can understand
We were walking across the night platform [?]
Everybody was grinning at the band

Then I looked at her and she was grinning too
And I decided that it was a dream
Then a voice said no as we got up to go
And were reported [?] by the football team

Oh baby baby baby, everybody has some shame
Well the sun's gonna shine, ooh Lord
Now and then it's gonna rain

We were headed for home as I began to cry
And she didn't seem disturbed at all
I said how can you so easy
She said how can you be so small

Well she looked at me in a peculiar way
Told me something I could never get
If you don't get what you want
You better hope you like what you get

Oh baby baby baby, everybody has some pain
Well the sun's gonna shine, ooh Lord
Now and then it's gonna rain
