So this is a simple round but it took a long time to write the song

Heavy Rain
©2025 John Voorpostel


Rode the river flowing down to the coast
First time overnight on a boat
Had to get out before life could sink me
Hiding awhile here in Corpus Christi

Got a mind to be a stevedore
Enough cargo going by
Texas hurricane is headed for shore
I wasn't looking to be caught outside (but I’m)

Standing here out in a heavy rain
I'm caught out in a hurricane
Took my chances with a weathervane
Now I'm standing in a heavy rain

Wife and kids are with a better man
Won't be sending any money home
Cash I grab however I can
I’m better off if nobody knows (that I’m

Standing here out in a heavy rain
I'm caught out in a hurricane
Took my chances with a weathervane
Now I'm standing in a heavy rain

I never said I was a gambling man
Though every now and again I am
When someone’s out to own your flesh by the pound
Ain't nobody gonna stay around (so I’m)

Standing here out in a heavy rain
I'm caught out in a hurricane
Took my chances with a weathervane
Now I'm standing in a heavy rain

Standing here out in a heavy rain
I'm caught out in a hurricane
Took my chances with a weathervane
Now I'm standing in a heavy rain


If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
