New Song from John Graces Second “NCIS” Soundtrack Volume 2

The second volume of a specially produced soundtrack for the hit CBS TV series “NCIS” will feature another cut from John.

“NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack – Vol. 2,” which CBS Records releases on Nov. 3, includes John’s “Someday The Rains Will Fall.” Like all of the other tracks (except legendary musical satirist Tom Lehrer’s “The Elements”), it is a new and previously unreleased recording.

As with the first “NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack,” which came out in February, John is in good company. Recent tour mate Bob Dylan is also present this time around, with Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow and Joss Stone participating this time as well.

“Someday The Rains Will Fall” was recorded in San Antonio during the sessions for John’s forthcoming “No Better Than This.” It joins “Troubled Land,” one of the key tracks from “Life Death Love & Freedom,” which appeared on the first “NCIS” volume.

Now in its seventh season, action drama “NCIS,” which centers on the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is the most-watched show on television.

“Someday The Rains Will Fall”
Written and Performed by John Mellencamp

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

When I first come down here from the country
Came to the fork in the road
One way went nowhere
And the other, it carried a heavy load

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

Your eyes and mind are always looking for trouble
What if it permeates the brain
Try to take a shortcut home
And you end up back where you started, again

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

Hurry down the alley with another man’s woman
You don’t care nothing about the ring on her hand
You think surely you can get away
And sometimes maybe you can

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

You’re all just a bunch of lousy liars
Never seen a hypocrite before
Then you would love to judge each other
But hypocrites we are forever more

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall

So we jiggle up the horserace
Oh man, that desire to win
Keeps our bellies so hungry
And we all want to repent in the end

Someday the rains will fall
When you expect it least
Someday the rains will fall
