40 Days and 40 Nights Lyrics by Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw Collector’s Edition: Volume #2

1994

[Verse 1]
Well, it's been rainin' on and on ever since you've been gone, those dark clouds keep a-rollin' in
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight, the bottom falls out again
[Verse 2]
Well, I can barely keep afloat, I'm up the creek without a boat and I've been a-driftin' Heaven knows how long
'Cause it's been rainin' forty days and the forty nights since you've been gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, well, drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm
[Chorus]
Girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine, baby, won't you come back home?
'Cause it's been rainin' forty days and the forty nights since you've been gone
[Verse 3]
Aw, listen to me now
I keep starin' out the window, searchin' for a rainbow to signal that the storm will end
Hey, 'cause I know that the rain will keep pourin' on the pane until my saint comes back marchin' in
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine, baby, won't you come back home?
'Cause it's been rainin' forty days and the forty nights since you've been gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, well, drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm
[Chorus]
Girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine, baby, won't you come back home?
'Cause it's been rainin' forty days and the forty nights since you've been gone
Yeah, it's been rainin' forty days and the forty nights since you've been gone
