The Rainmakers - Hoo Dee Hoo lyrics

The girl said do you love me, the boy said I do The girl said prove it, the boy said hoo-dee-hoo I headed for the water tower straight to the top With my spray paint can and I did not stop I painted your name larger than life About eight feet tall and about twelve feet wide And I think that you believed me when I came back down And for a couple of weeks we were the talk of the town And the girls sang hoo-dee-hoo And the boys sang hoo-dee-hoo And everybody sang hoo-dee-hoo Hoo-dee-hoo-hoo-hoo Then I left town looking for the Holy Grail You left the very next week with the jet set Sailing for the Caribbean where the rich kids play I missed you so much I fell down and prayed I joined every church that claimed they knew my sin They made me write the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin CHORUS Well one year it was the factory and one year the park We heated with wood and the house caught fire I reached for a figure through the smoke and the sparks But which done did I save, the girl or the guitar Well I made a lot of money, got a lot of good press Writing paperback novels like a man possessed Every name was changed, every story was true Every priest was me, every stripper was you And they danced like angels cast out for being lovers And I wrote their life story on a matchbook cover CHORUS I went home for Christmas to that little old town I ate a big dinner and went walking around I seen some other dumb kid had made that long hard climb He'd wasted his paint, wasted his time But I know I'd do it all again if you asked me to And I'd take you with me this time Singing hoo-dee-hoo CHORUS
