I woke up this morning wishing it would rain
All this heat and dryness is messing with my brain
Want to see some thunderheads rising up above the Great Plains
I woke up this morning kissing the pillow where your head has lain

People who say they understand love, they are either a liar or a fool
Love can be so kind, then turn right around and be so cruel
My old heart is just as stubborn as a mule
I woke up this morning, my love was shining like a jewel

When you start your singing, honey, the heavens open up with grace
It comes right from your heart, it's such an open place
Whatever had me down is gone without a trace
I woke up this morning with joy tears on my face
