I Bought the Rain | Heavy Electric Blues | NONIMOTTO

*I Bought the Rain — Heavy Electric Blues | NONIMOTTO* A lifetime of hard work. A dying piece of land. One final gamble to save everything. "I Bought the Rain" tells the story of a farmer who spends his last dollar searching for water, only to lose the land his father left behind. And just as he drives away, the rain finally comes. Driven by thick, gritty electric guitar riffs, a powerful blues groove, and a weathered, raspy male voice, this song captures the bitterness of losing everything just one hour before a miracle. *LYRICS* [Verse 1] That summer burned the fields to dust The plow turned red, the fences rust My daddy's well had given dry And not one cloud crossed that empty sky I sold my truck, I sold my grain Paid a drilling man to find the rain He said, "There's water down below" I watched that iron bite and go [Chorus] I bought the rain, I bought the rain Paid every dollar, every drop of pain Dug so deep where the water should've been All I brought up was the dirt again [Verse 2] Three days drilling through the stone That diesel roared till the money was gone He pulled the pipe, shook his head "Nothing here," was all he said My wife stood quiet by the door Barefoot on that kitchen floor She didn't cry, she didn't shout Just packed the things we couldn't live without [Chorus] I bought the rain, I bought the rain Paid every dollar, every drop of pain Dug so deep where the water should've been All I brought up was the dirt again [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Friday morning, the buyer came Signed his papers, took my name I handed over my daddy's key To a man who never planted a seed We loaded up and shut the gate Thirty years gone, a day too late Then thunder rolled across the plain And the windshield caught the first hard rain [Bridge] I stopped that truck beside the road Watched the water turn the dust to gold My little boy said, "Daddy, look!" I couldn't speak, my whole body shook [Final Chorus] I bought the rain, I bought the rain Sold my father's land to pay that pain Now it's falling on a stranger's ground And I ain't got a field to turn around I bought the rain, I bought the rain Thirty years waiting on a change The sky gave everything I prayed to see Just one hour too late for me [Outro] *NONIMOTTO — Original Blues Music* Raw guitars.
