Rainmakers lyrics greatest night of my life lyrics

it was a one night stand

with a rock 'n' roll band

in a big old room

with a sonic boom

there were a thousand chairs

there were twenty-five there

and the band felt blue

I guess I did too

but we played and played

and when we walked off the stage

I swore I'd just jammed with God

it was the greatest night

of a young boy's life

but the band just thought

I was odd

you never know who

might be watching you

on the greatest night of your life



there was a little old town

I left and I loved

It was one mile square

mighty quiet there

I split for the skies

grew weary and wise

out casting my pearls

all over the world

and I climbed so high

nearly ruined my eyes

trying to see what I could see

and what I saw

was that little old town

was all the world I'd ever need

the truth like a stone

will come crashing home

on the greatest night of your life



there was a girl I loved

in that little old town

we were the best of friends

odd even for then

but we went our ways

and she changed her name

and she changed her tune

changed faces too

and I tried like mad

to recreate what we had

but it wasn't meant to be

and when I finally gave up

that I'd never know love

she was standing

right in front of me

love will arrive

it its own good time

on the greatest time of your life



thanks for being here with me

on the greatest night of my life
