Outside In The Rain - Tommy Shaw

Outside in the rain

No one knows you’re outside in the cold cold rain

And nobody knows what you’re all about

But they’re gonna find

Out there it’s so dark

It’s hard to tell just who’s there near the park

He’s the spark that started the flame

Immortalized the name

Gave him instant fame

I know that’s not right

But what am I gonna do

I know it’s not right

Boy be a boy

Stop your fooling around

You’ve got one more chance

Before my feet touch the ground

Forget the introduction cause it don’t mean a thing

You’ve get my heartstrings humming

And you can make me sing

Out there no one knows

No one realizes how close

To the edge you can get

Yet still turn around

(They never told you what you needed to hear)

Without the slightest sound

(They only told you what you wanted to hear)

Move from your shaky ground

I know that’s right

But what am I gonna do

You refuse to see the light

Man be a man tell me what’s on your mind

If you take a little chance

Who knows what you’ll find

I can give you all the reasons

But I can’t make you think

You can lead a horse to water

But you can’t make him drink

Boy be a boy

Stop your fooling around

You’ve got one more chance

Before my feet touch the ground

Forget the introduction cause it don’t mean a thing

You’ve get my heartstrings humming

And you can make me sing

Man be a man tell me what’s on your mind

If you take a little chance

Who knows what you’ll find

I can give you all the reasons

But I can’t make you think

You can lead a horse to water

But you can’t make him drink
