Rustin’ In The Rain

I have gee'd and haw'd
Myself into a tizzy
I am yearnin' for the turnin'
In the most peculiar way
Blame it on my jeans
Caked in tenant farmin'
But I can't stand for idle hands
As the hours waste away

Let your love light shine
Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby
Take 'at wick to task
And work me all night 'neath the flame
I am yours to use
And I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart
Rustin' in the rain

I'm a hillside plow
Workin' one way then the other
I don't run around in circles
I work right on up the side
Startin' at the foot
Going past the shoulder
'Til the sweat erodes
And the whole hill slides
Let your love light shine
Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby
Take 'at wick to task
Work me all night 'neath the flame
I am yours to use
And I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart
Rustin' in the rain

I have gee'd and haw'd
For you and it sure suits me
I am pawin' with impatience
At the thought of tracin' chains
I have grit my bit
Right in half from just a-thinkin'
Of gettin' hunkered down
Tryin' to get up through the hames

Let your love light shine
Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby
Take that wick to task
Work me all night 'neath the flame
I am yours to use
And I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart
Rustin' in the rain
Do not let my heart just fall apart
Rustin' in the rain
