Don Tomlinson wrote or co-wrote every song on this site and without generative AI involvement. Every sound recording on this site is the product of its professional original sound recording having been uploaded to an AI music site solely for purposes of changing the vocalist, updating the production, and sometimes adding another genre (with the melody changed only derivatively to accommodate the additional genre). Virtually all companies in the music licensing industry require any song they license to have been 100% human written. All underlying musical compositions on this site were 100% human written.

Lyrics

VERSE
I’m drivin’ in the “Parade of Bad Things”
Overworked, underpaid, hangin’ on by a string
Single mom, barely gettin’ by, oh, yeah, feelin’ a chill
Lost my friends, been through the mill, feelin’ ill

PRE-CHORUS
And as though that’s not enough
It’s raining on the parade

CHORUS
Sometimes my whole life is like drivin’ in the rain
Wipers goin’ bad; wantin’ what I’ve never had
Sorrow and pain, draggin’ a ball and chain
But through it all, I’m not gonna take the fall

VERSE
It would be easy to pull over and cry
But I can’t wait on a cloudless sky
Or just hang around for something never found
Or let life get me down; I’m not gonna drown

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Life doesn’t treat us all the same
But I’m not gonna let that speak for me
I’m not layin’ any blame
But I’m gonna calm this raging sea

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
I’m still drivin’ in the rain
But just watch me arrive where I wanta be
