She had five hundred dollars that her grandma left She said for a rainy day A hundred more from the general store Where she stocked the shelves for pay She’d had enough of those country roads And the wind in the telephone wires Said a prayer for luck, started the truck Checked the mirror and spun the tires Chorus: She said there’s no such thing as a rainy day And the world is bigger than the milky way If you save it too long you’re just throwin‘ it away She rolls like the thunder She’s ridin‘ to the edge of the storm She had her momma’s smile and her daddy‘s fire Their love burned deep in her soul They were more than glad to give her all they had As they pushed her from the fold The road gets wider mile by mile As she heads east toward the dawn The clouds press down, the lightning sounds Lilly turns those wipers on Chorus: The card come in from Fond Du Lac New Orleans and Chilliwack She said one of these days I’m comin‘ back But I’m not gonna stay
