Songwriter: Kris Kristofferson

from a story by John Steinbeck in "The Grapes of Wrath"

The scene was a small roadside cafe,

The waitress was sweeping the floor.

Two truck drivers drinking their coffee.

And two Okie kids by the door.

"How much are them candies?" they asked her.

"How much have you got?" she replied.

"We've only a penny between us."

"Them's two for a penny," she lied.

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder,

With the smell of the rain on the wind.

Ain't it just like a human.

Here comes that rainbow again.

One truck driver called to the waitress,

After the kids went outside.

"Them candies ain't two for a penny."

"So what's it to you?" she replied.

In silence they finished their coffee,

And got up and nodded goodbye.

She called: "Hey, you left too much money!"

"So what's it to you?" they replied.

And the daylight was heavy with thunder,

With the smell of the rain on the wind.

Ain't it just like a human.

Here comes that rainbow again.

The story Kris is telling in the song comes from John Steinbeck's book Grapes of Wrath. I just watched the 1940 movie Grapes of Wrath strarring Henry Fonda a couple of days ago, it is one of the best scenes in the movie.
