Green Eyes Crying in the Rain

In the morning when I'm wakin' on the road
and I'm feeling hungry and cold
Empty arms that are achin' in my bed
and I hear you call, but I cry instead

Bitter coffee as I start out on the day
gettin' sick of singin' for pay
What's the use when the happiness is gone
are you waitin' true, can you hear this song

Shot of whiskey as I head out for the hall
wish I had a bottle for you all
One more number as my senses start to go
And I hear your voice from the long ago

Oh, I love you and I can't believe the strain
for the distance that's between us is insane
Oh, I love you and I can't believe the pain
that's behind those green eyes cryin' in the rain

“Drouillard has already left his mark, he wrote Green Eyes Cryin' In The Rain, Yankee's most commercially marketable song.”

Dan Dubentsky, The New Haven Register

"Together they put together a program of original music which demonstrated a high degree of musicianship and appeal."
