[Verse 1] Like a raggin' flood that ruins the poor mans land You keep doing thing to hurt me all you can But the sickness that we have is a growin' thing How much rain can one man stand? How much rain can one man stand? I gave you everything but my right hand If you don't want to love me then don't let me be your friend How much rain can one man stand? [Verse 2] I can see them big old storm clouds a-movin' in There's a stranger in your big brown eyes again And you told him that I was just an old time friend How much rain can one man stand? How much rain can one man stand? I gave you everything but my right hand Well, if you don't want to love me then don't let me be a friend How much rain can one man stand? How much rain can one man stand?
