Raining In Port Arthur

This afternoon i walked out into a ditch



The crawfish stirred the water



The papermill blew in on the southeastern wind



And it was raining in port arthur



I pulled a dead limb from a fallen pine



The sun was dropping on the lower neches valley



I called the dogs from out of the woods with a hollar



And it was raining in port arthur



That night my daddy drove us to maw maw's



He and mama wanted to be alone



I sat up in that mimosa tree with my brother



And it was raining in port arthur



The refinerys hum and glow from the road



And i listen to the dove as she mourns



I'm standing in the rice fields of beaumont



And it was raining in port arthur
