I never knew the difference back then
Cause Daddy kept our circumstances between my Mom and him
I never felt his dread when the bills arrived
Cause he shouldered it, and shot me a big ol’ smile

He taught me that a dollar's there to spend
It won't do much good in heaven, it sure won't get you in
You should set aside a few for a rainy day
Just don’t waste your time and worry life away

Stop waiting on the rain to fall
Quit counting on the creek to rise
No matter what the weatherman says
There’s still a dawn when sun don’t shine
Just take each moment by the hand
And live it the best you can
There’s no point in bracing for the pain
Stop waiting on the rain

Was a week away from walking down the aisle
Bout to tell my baby maybe we should wait on this awhile
My head was full of “what ifs” and concern
Unsure of how the road ahead would turn
	
Once again my Daddy set me straight
He told me there’s no way of knowing what will come our way
You should keep in mind the danger when you swim
But at some point, boy, you gotta jump on in

Stop waiting on the rain to fall
Quit counting on the creek to rise
No matter what the weatherman says
There’s still a dawn when sun don’t shine
Just take each moment by the hand
And live it the best you can
There’s no point in bracing for the pain
Stop waiting on the rain

(stop waiting on the rain)  Yeah or that’s exactly what you’ll get
(stop waiting on the rain)  You’ll just wind up getting wet
(stop waiting on the rain)  Yeah there’s a better way, a better day ahead

Stop waiting on the rain to fall
Quit counting on the creek to rise
No matter what the weatherman says
There’s still a dawn when sun don’t shine
Just take each moment by the hand
And live it the best you can
There’s no point in bracing for the pain
Life is short, so just enjoy the day
Stop waiting on the rain
