You know it rains ev'ry time I go travelin',
Maybe I just wasn't meant to roam
You know it rains ev'ry time I go travelin', Lord
Maybe I just oughta stay at home
I got a woman close to me, just as sweet as she can be
Holds me in her arms both night and day
So what am I doin' on the road, when I oughta be back home
Storm clouds are rollin' down my way
You know it rains ev'ry time I go travelin'
Maybe I just wasn't meant to roam
You know it rains ev'ry time I go travelin', Lord
Maybe I just oughta stay at home
You know I ran into a preacher, way down in Roanoke, [he said]
"Howard, where's your woman, are you out here all alone?"
[I said] "Preacher Man, I'm doin' the very best that I can.
What more can you expect, from a weary, lonesome man?"
You know it rains ev'ry time I go travelin'
Maybe I just wasn't meant to roam
You know it rains ev'ry time I go travelin', Lord, Lord
Maybe I just oughta stay at home, Maybe I just oughta stay at home
