Stormy Weather
Joe Walsh/Toby Keith/Willie Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together keeps rainin' all the time
Life is bare gloom and mis'ry everywhere stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together I'm weary all the time all the time
When she went away the blues walked in and met me
If she stays away old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more
Can't go on everything I had is gone stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together keeps rainin' all the time

Don't let this distract you from the fact that
in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns
in a single game while playing for the Polk
High School Panthers in the 1966 city
championship game versus Andrew
Johnson High School, including the game-
winning touchdown in the final seconds
against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare
Tire" Dixon

Part of what makes it funny is how rudimentary it is. It's so obviously fake it's funny.😂 The sad part is people clicked on this video wholeheartedly convinced that they would literally see Joe Biden exposing his depends undergarment. The sad part is so many people think so lowly of him. It's sad so many people think Joe Biden literally wears diapers😂😂
