the second coming Lyrics

I grew up in the hot part of this county

There was a neighborhood pool

And a drought for a summer or two, or so they say

And I've been waitin' for the raindrops on my windshield

Ever since that day

So I can repeat my grandpa's

Well, we've needed this

We've needed this

We've needed this

Couple inches

And we weren't poor, but we sure as hell weren't rich, neither

That middle class daydream

Fading in my memory

They say

They say Jesus Christ is comin' back any 'ole day now

Well, I wish he'd blow that trumpet, Lord

We've needed it

We've needed it

We've needed it

Since a long, long while ago

And I'll be damned if I can't say so

I grew up in the baptist part of this country

It was my church and school combined

And if there's hellfire here, the pastor's got the light

They say Jesus Christ is coming back

But they're not goin' with him

Goddamn hippocrites

The whole South is all ablaze with their wicked ways

But we've needed it

This fire cleansin

My great aunt could talk to family who'd passed on

It skipped a couple generations

But now my grandma comes to visit

You can tell me that it's just a dream

But I feel her when she holds me

Mmm, for a minute

Oh, she knows

I've needed it

I've needed it

Like a second coming

When we say goodbye

It always feels like the last time

So hold on to me real tight

Cuz I've needed it

You've needed it

We've needed it

Like a second coming

Needed it

You've needed it

I've needed it
