Here comes that rainbow again

The scene was a small roadside cafe,
The waitress was sweeping the floor.
Two truck drivers drinking their coffee.
And two okie kids by the door.
"how much are them candies? " they asked her.
"how much have you got? " she replied.
"we've only a penny between us. "
"them's two for a penny," she lied.
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder,
With the smell of the rain on the wind.
Ain't it just like a human.
Here comes that rainbow again.
One truck driver called to the waitress,
After the kids went outside.
"them candies ain't two for a penny. "
"so what's it to you? " she replied.
In silence they finished their coffee,
And got up and nodded goodbye.
She called: "hey, you left too much money! "
"so what's it to you? " they replied.
And the daylight was heavy with thunder,
With the smell of the rain on the wind.
Ain't it just like a human.
