"Blame It (On the Rain)" by Katie Vincent
An original song, created for the motion picture, "Pickings"

lyrics
When does a man pick the ground on which he stands before he—
Realizes that he’s out of time?
When does a mother, sister, uncle, pa, and aunt and mister—
Reunite and miss a poor boy’s life?
Singing songs is nice and all,
We’ll still be slinging alcohol,
Doing all the things we ever do.
But I’ll be sittin’ wonderin’ why—
He had to go ahead and die.
A cowboy’s life, this one goes out… to you.
Blame it on the rain,
Blame it on the sun.
And this pain,
It makes you run.
Buy you flowers,
For your grave.
But your heart,
It still remains.
Never put much stock into the ticking of a clock, I never—
Got the bargain in that second hand.
But now I’m counting every minute, hour, day and what’s left in it.
Until I see that crazy kid again.
Blame it on the rain,
Blame it on the sun.
And this pain,
It makes you run.
Buy you flowers,
For your grave.
But your heart,
It still remains.
Everybody knows what worth your time—
Ain't weighed in gold.
It’s only people that you know—
You keep in mind.
You’re the one we’ll still remember—
June, July, August, September.
You’re the reason we’ll forever find.
(One more time)
Blame it on the rain,
Blame it on the sun.
And this pain,
It makes you run.
Buy you flowers,
For your grave.
But your heart,
It still remains.
