HERE COMES THAT RAINBOW AGAIN
Words and music by Kris Kristofferson
As recorded by Johnny Cash on "Rainbow" (1985)

The scene was a small roadside cafe.
The waitress was sweepin' the floor.
Two truck drivers drinkin' their coffee,
And two Okie kids by the door.
"How much are them candies?" they asked her.
"How much have you got?" she replied.
"We've only a penny between us."
"Them's two for a penny," she lied.

CHORUS: And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind.
Ain't it just like a human?
Here comes that rainbow again.

One truck driver said to the waitress
After the kids went outside:
"Them candies ain't two for a penny."
"So, what's it to you?" she replied.
In silence, they finished their coffee,
Got up, and nodded goodbye.
She called: "Hey, you left too much money!"
"So What's it to you?" they replied. CHORUS
