I know a girl, she was a waitress Had a big spirit till she let her boyfriend break it He always talked her down, he took her pride and kicked it 'round Yeah, took it as long as she could take it She left a note on the dresser, and hung up her apron [Chorus] Cry, cry till the sun shines, baby Cry, cry till the sun shines It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright, baby I know a man who tried to ease his mind Chase his regrets with any bottle he could find Life cut him down so low, it took his pride and broke his soul, yeah Till he forgave himself and let it go [Chorus] We're all here just tryin' to live our lives Payin' our electric bills and spendin' up our time When there ain't a friend to be found You can't break through the concrete clouds When the rain, when the rain comes crashin' down [Chorus]
