Some bright piece of sunshine came tumbling through
Came rollin' through my blinds today
Way out here in Chino where the river flows
and the cattle grow
It's home but I can't stay
Farewell father I'll be coming through once in a while
Won't you keep my room the same
And I guess that I've been doing fine
and I reckon I could ease my mind
If my bills were paid

My mother she left Chino ten years ago
She went to Mexico
And she hasn't had much to say
Some lousy desperado left her standing there
She was unaware he weren't coming back round her way
Cheer up mother I'll be coming through once in a while
Won't you wear your hair the same
And I reckon it's been on your mind if i'm doing good
If i'm doing fine
I'm okay

I left my mind in Chino but I had to go
The clouds told me so
So I left in search for rain
But I miss the sunlight shining through my window pane
And the way it made the rough soften on my face
Cheer up Kassi I'll be coming through once in while
Won't you watch your window pane
And I reckon it's been on your mind if I'm doing good
If I still shine
I'm okay
