Words/Music – Rand Anderson
The monsoon is approaching, I can smell the desert rain
The sweet scent of sage and sand washing clean the earth again
Clap of thunder fill my ears as the clouds rise so tall
Webs off lighting fill the sky as the rain begins to fall
Just like that day, she ran away
Was it what I told her? Or what I didn’t say
Its look like the sunshine won’t be here to stay
But then I see the purple patches coming though the gray
Whenever I cant walk, she carries me to bed
Keeps my body warm and soothes my aching head
Ive known a lot of women and been all around this world
But Ill never find another one like my mountain girl
Looked since the day, she ran away
Was it what I told her? Or what I didn’t say
Its look like the sunshine won’t be here to stay
But then I see the purple patches coming though the gray
In each and every raindrop, I can see her face
You know Im heading northbound to her mountain hideout place
500 miles by sundown, keep rolling throughout the night
Gonna find my mountain girl and try to treat her right
Not like that day, she ran away
Was it what I told her? Or what I didn’t say
Its look like the sunshine won’t be here to stay
But then I see the purple patches coming though the gray
