Raining On The Plains

Sara Storer


The galahs they know that it's that time 
Upside down on the power lines 
Making a family on their minds 
Raining on the plains again 

Can you hear it drumming on that old tin sheet 
No better sound to make you fall to sleep 
No dream of tonne crops and big fat sheep 
Raining on the plains again 

Haven't seen the Warrumbungles all day 
There's a fair chance so the old blokes say 
Reminds of the start back in 58 
Yeah thunder on the plains again 

Looks like the break that we've been looking for 
And the dogs are doing donuts on the lawn 
Chasing their tails they can smell the storm 
Raining on the plains again 

You can't make money out of dirt that's dry 
Bring on the rain from that stormy sky 
Grab a beer! From the fridge 
And raise it high 
'Cause it raining on the plains again 

The last time the dog did that 
Couldn't get to me ute for the fences and logs 
Couldn't sleep with noise of the mozzies and the frogs 
What a storm on the plains again 

The galahs they know that it's that time 
Upside down on the power lines 
Making a family on their minds 
Raining on the plains again 

You can't make money out of dirt that's dry 
Bring on the rain from that stormy sky 
Grab a beer! From the fridge 
And raise it high 
'Cause it raining on the plains again 

You can't make money out of dirt that's dry 
Bring on the rain from that stormy sky 
Grab a beer! From the fridge 
And raise it high 
'Cause it raining on the plains again
