I remember it all very well lookin' back
It was the summer that I turned eighteen
We lived in a one-room, run down shack
On the outskirts of New Orleans

We didn't have money for food or rent
To say the least we were hard-pressed

Raindrops keep fallin on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin on my head, they keep fallin

So I just did me some talkin to the sun
And I said I didnt like the way he got things done
Sleepin on the job
