Tom T. Hall - It Rained In Every Town Except Paducah lyrics

[Verse 1:] Worked construction for a while in St. Louis I was helping build a great big new motel It rained so much I couldn't make the payments I sold my car it didn't run too well Got a job at makin' stoke ice in Ohio But it rained so much I moved along again It never seemed to rain when you were with me Or I just didn't notice rain back then [Chorus:] Oh, it rained in every town except Paducah In a way it reminds me of you It rained in every town except Paducah Then one day it rain in Paducah too [Verse 2:] Got a job at stringin' wire down in Atlanta Didn't rain too much but there's a constant mist I read two books and learned to play canasta Till I got bored and I gave it up for this I rode that stream machine out the fairground I lost some ways but then I put it back It rained as I was walking back to Pete Street I used to be afraid of things like that [Chorus]
