Rain Check

Rain Check by Mystic Colossus

Got my eyes on the road ahead
And I got my head on straight
Still thinking about things unsaid
And I’m wondering if I should wait

I thought I had it all worked out
I thought I was wise
Then suddenly I found that shred of doubt
It kinda opened my eyes

I think I’d better take a rain check
Gotta reconsider the plan
I think I might be heading for a wreck
I don’t think I’m that kind of man

Got some thoughts on the task ahead
And an introspective state
Maybe some things are best unsaid
Maybe some things can wait

I thought I had it all worked out
I thought I was strong
It’s something I guess I’ll have to think about
It’s kinda like I might’ve been wrong

I think I’d better take a rain check
Gotta reconsider the plan
I think I might be heading for a wreck
I think I’ve done all I can

Rain Check
by Brown Word and the Big Whine

Saturday night and I'm invited
But I'm too tired to party gonna stay at home

No booze nothing strong
And I like my pajamas on

It's a fear of going out
Gotta find parking
Oh no - creepers lurkin'

Gotta let the dog out gotta feed the cat
It was fun while it lasted

Chorus.
Oh yeah we're gonna flake out again
Oh yeah we're gonna stay shut in
Slouchin' on the couch comfy cozy all night long

I haven't seen you
I haven't seen you
I haven't seen you
I haven't seen you in about TEN years!

Man I can't make it out
Jeez I'm sorry I missed it
Let's catch up - maybe next time? Text me!
Let's catch up - maybe another time? Text me!
Let's catch up - maybe next time? Text me!

Chorus.
Oh yeah we're gonna flake out again
Oh yeah we're gonna stay shut in
Slouchin' on the couch comfy cozy all night long

It's a Texas flood
Do you know what happens to the traffic when it rains?
It's a Texas flood
I gotta take a rain check

Rain Check
Berkeley Social Scene

You got backstage passes to Raekwon
And Mobb Deep at the UC
You know that it’s something that I would never miss
But I have a work thing that night falling straight into the abyss

I’m gonna have to take a rain check
And do something I don’t wanna do

So you and the boys are going camping
Up at the spot near Shasta Lake
You know that it’s something I would never skip
But my wife’s parents are coming down and I just cannot ditch

I’m gonna have to take a rain check
And do something I don’t wanna do
I’m gonna have to take a rain check
And become somebody nobody wants to

Is there any hope for me at all?
Is there any hope for me at all?
Is there any hope for me at all?
I need to find a way to break my fall

You know that it’s something that I would never miss
But I got something that I have to do and I fall into the abyss

I’m gonna have to take a rain check
And do something I don’t wanna do
I’m gonna have to take a rain check
And become somebody nobody wants to
