I Won't Believe It's Never Gonna Rain - Slim Dusty

You tell me that you’re leaving

This drought has got you down

It’s easy to believe that it’s so

What once was fine has withered on the vine

There’s only dirt where pastures used to grow

But I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

This wide brown land can still be green again

You can tell me that I’m crazy, holding on in vain

But I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

Our savings for a rainy day have dried up in the sun

Crops are gone and cattle slowly fade

When there’s only you and I beneath this heartless sky

I believe that I’m the one who wants to stay

But I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

This dry old land can still be green again

You can tell me that I’m crazy, holding on in vain

But I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

No I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

Sometimes it’s slow, but seasons always change

You can tell me that you’re leaving

But I’ll hang in just the same

'Cause I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

You tell me I’m not listening

I just won’t understand how this drought

Will wash our family down the drain

Well I’ll believe that only stubborn people settle on this land

But I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

No I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

This wide brown land can still be green again

You can tell me that you’re leaving

But I’ll hang in just the same

'Cause I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain

No I won’t believe it’s never gonna rain
