              C 
When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain 
I'd stand under the downspout, let the water cool my brain 
I never thought to worry if the river rose too high 
That all the seeds we planted would get washed out with the tide 
        F                       C 
    But now I am a man, And I need a place to hide 
            C                      D 
    But there's no where to run, And there's no place to hide 
            F                     C 
    Where the water runs free, And the mud starts to slide 
 
C 
When I was a young man I could work through wind and rain 
I never thought to worry, had no reason to complain 
I thought that I standing on a rock so firm and strong 
But was easy then to see just what was right and what was wrong 
        F                          C 
    But now I am a man, I won't be hanging 'round too long 
 
C 
When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain 
I'd stand under the downspout, let the water cool my brain 
I never thought to worry if the river rose too high 
That all the dreams we planted would get washed out with the tide 
 
            C                    D 
    But there's no where to run, And there's no place to hide 
            F                    C 
    Where the water runs free, And the mud starts to slide 
            F                    C 
    Where the water runs free, And the mud starts to slide
