[Verse 1 - Male Solo only]
Friday night she calls me up late
Says a little bit of rain just ruined our date
A transmission leak, a flat on her car
Another good reason we ain't hittin' the bar
She says she's got to wash her hair
I said give me a break
But I took that promissary note for safety sake
[Chorus 1 - Duet Harmony]
I'm sittin' on a fortune in rain checks
Most people probably call them "not yet's
Six long months of savin' up our time
Gonna cash 'em all in when the sun starts to shine
Yes, she thinks she's got a chain she can yank
But I'm taking them straight to the bank
[Instrumental Break - 1 Bar Buffer - Pedal Steel & Twin Fiddles solo]
[Verse 2 - Female Solo only]
Monday morning I dropped a text at ten
I tell him that I'm swamped and I'm running out of wind
It's a crazy kind of life that I'm trying to pull through
It ain't got a single thing to do with missing you.
I seen him double tap the screen
He thinks it's a game
But I'm writing down his patience right next to his name
[Chorus 2 - Duet Harmony]
We're sittin' on a fortune in rain checks
Most people probably call them "not yet's"
Six long months of savin' up our time
Gonna cash 'em all in when the sun starts to shine
Yes, she thinks she's got a chain she can yank
Honey, I'm taking them straight to the bank
[Guitar and Fiddle Solo]
[Chorus 3 - Duet Harmony]
We're sittin' on a fortune in rain checks
Most people probably call them "not yet's"
Six long months of savin' up our time
Gonna cash 'em all in when the sun starts to shine
Yes, she thinks she's got a chain she can yank
Honey, I'm taking them straight to the bank
