If yoCu give Dmme good reason why AmI should sCtay
IC'll poDmstpone my leavin' for Ganother Amday

But you kCnow I'm patDmient when it comGes to rCain
YoCu ain't neDmver loved me at least AmI don't tChink
CI was evDmer thirsty when you sGaw me drAmink
I've been looCking throDmugh the dirty on this wAmindow paCint
But you knCow I'm patDmient when it coGmes to rCain
AmI don't know if I can wash away the staGins
But as loFng as cloud stands I will always waGit
And I kCnow you gDmot your buddies but whAmere are they nCow?
YoCu can't oDmnly want me when these ligGhts go dowAmn
And I knCow we aDmin't no burden but we feAmel the strCain
And I'm alCways paDmtient when it cGomes to rCain
LCooking fDmor a quick drink boy yAmou move too faCst
'Cuz yCou ain't nDmever sippin', so it neGver laAmsts
So, will yCou stDmay out there wasting all our nuAmmbered daCys?
But you kCnow I'm wDmaiting for that drGop of raCin
