Dogs barking in the backyard
Grass up to their knees
Sound of thunder roars
And there's lighting in the trees
Waiting for it to rain
Contemplating life
Hearing only crickets chirp
and the cars that drive by
Sadistic in nature the clouds turn black
They become heavy and begin their attack
The trees hide their fear and stand their ground
As gunshots come they're heard all around
Then the sun came out.

Dogs barking in the backyard
Grass up to their knees
Sound of thunder roars
And there's lighting in the trees
Waiting for it to rain
Contemplating life
Hearing only crickets chirp
and the cars that drive by
Sadistic in nature the clouds turn black
They become heavy and begin their attack
The trees hide their fear and stand their ground
As gunshots come they're heard all around
Then the sun came out.
