Raintown Boys
J. Spinks
The raintown boys are leaving today
Heading on out to the shoreline
The greytown boys are tired of this place
They're not coming back anymore
They're gonna find a new life in the city
Don't wanna live in black and white
'Cos nothing's gonna change the talkin's over

Their fears are gone - their fortunes changed
Just like they were made for one another
The boy's won't ever be the same
The raintown boys ain't coming back to town no more
They've had enough of living in the past for sure
No more - no more - no more
No more - no more - no more

Each night I say a little prayer for
Just one more chance
Just one more night
To taste the kisses that enchant me
I'd want no others if you'd grant me
Just one more chance
I've learned the meaning of repentance
Now you're the jury at my trial
I know that I should serve my sentence
Still, I'm hoping all the while
You'll give me
Just one more word
I said that I was glad to start out
But now I'm back to cry my heart out
For just one more chance
We spend our lives in groping f
