  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    The sidewalks 
    are 
    blazing 
    hot 
    like 

    white- 
    fire 
    from 
    pistol 
    shot 

    The sun 
    at its 
    zenith 
    is 
    proudly 
    dis
    played 

    The 
    old 
    man 
    across 
    the 
    street 
    can't 

    hardly 
    stand 
    the 
    heat 

    He'd 
    pay 
    a king's 
    ransom 
    for 
    one 

    patch 
    of 
    shade. 
    (There's) 

    Cracks 
    in 
    the 
    creek 
    bed 
    deep 
    dry 
    dirt 

    where 
    the 
    craw 
    dead 
    sleep 

    Dust 
    in 
    the 
    birdbath is 
    out 
    of 
    control 

    The 
    treefrogs have 
    ceased 
    to 
    sing 

    fireflies 
    have 
    lost 
    their zing 

    And 
    life 
    on 
    the 
    rice 
    farm 

    is 
    taking 
    toll 

    Verse 2

    Brazos 
    river 
    s less 
    than 
    three 

    feet 
    deep. 

    Watermelon 
    farmers 
    wife 
    can't 
    sleep. 

    Dust 
    dripping 
    from 

    windmill 
    spout 

    Everybody 
    wants 
    to 
    end 

    Interlude 1
    this 
    drought 


    Verse 3
    The 
    firetrucks and 
    sirens 
    scream 
    like 

    scenes 
    from 
    an old 
    bad 
    dream 

    The 
    drought 
    seeps 
    into 
    your 
    bones 

    till your 
    last 
    drink 
    of 
    water's 
    gone 

    And a 
    rise 
    from 
    the 
    ashes 
    falls 

    on 
    your 
    head 

    Verse 4

    The jukebox 
    plays 
    Jimmy 
    Reed 
    dry- 

    winds 
    blow 
    tumbleweed 

    The 
    blues 
    and the 
    night 
    have 

    mind 
    of 
    their 
    own 

    With 
    beer 
    joints 
    to slake 
    our 
    thirst 
    we 
    wait 
    for 
    the 
    great 
    cloud- 

    burst 
    Pray 
    let 
    there 
    be 
    raindrops 
    the size 
    of 
    a stone 

    Verse 5

    Witch 
    doctor 
    beat 
    the tom- 

    tom 
    loud 

    Helicopter 
    pilot 
    seed 
    the 
    clouds 

    Baptist 
    preacher 
    get 
    your 
    prayer 
    book 
    out 

    Somebody's 
    got 
    to 
    end 

    this 
    drought 

    Cattle 
    rancher 
    watch 
    the 
    skies 
    all 
    day 

    Sun 
    is 
    shining 
    but 
    you 
    can't 
    make 
    hay 

    The only 
    thing 
    that's 
    left to 
    talk 
    about 

    Is 
    how 
    on earth 
    we're 
    gonna 
    end 
    this 

    drought. 
    No 
    doubt

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
