It's raining on the West coast, snowing in Topeka
The weatherman says there's ice below Tennessee
There's a flood out in California and a drive way down in Texas
And in Maine the fog's so thick that you can't see

But the sun shines bright, down in Acapulco
There's no snow in old Monterey
There's no ice down in Nogales
I say oh lord, there's got to be a better way



I see a loser in my mirror, got a devil in my brain
And the woman I've been loving, she moved on
She left blossom in my bedroom and dirty dishes in my sink
Guess she didn't like the words to my country song

But the sun shines bright, down in Acapulco
There's no snow in old Monterey
There's no ice down in Nogales
I say oh lord, there's got to be a better way

But the sun shines bright, down in Acapulco
There's no snow in old Monterey
There's no ice down in Nogales
I say oh lord, there's got to be a better way
