"Behind the Clouds" is a song in Cars and Mater and the Ghostlight. It was written by Brad Paisley and Frank Rogers and was performed by Paisley.

In Cars, the song is played at Flo's V8 Café before Lightning McQueen comes to tell everyone that Doc Hudson was the Fabulous Hudson Hornet.

In Mater and the Ghostlight, the song plays during the beginning when Mater is pulling pranks on his friends. It plays more faintly, similarly to how it played in Cars, in the following scene at Flo's V8 Café. Mater also sings it when he goes home. Finally, the song played during the credits.

The song serves as track 4 on the Cars soundtrack. An instrumental version, as well as a vocal version sung by David Jeremiah, are featured on Disney's Karaoke Series: Cars.

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down
Seems like those dark skies are following you around
And life's just one big shade of gray
You wonder if you'll see the light of day
[Chorus]
Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me, even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver linin'
But there's a big blue sky waiting right behind the clouds
[Verse 2]
I've heard it said that this too shall pass
Good times or bad times, neither one lasts
But thinking that your luck won't ever change
Is like thinkin' it won't ever stop once it starts to rain
[Chorus]
Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver linin'
But there's a big blue sky waiting right behind the clouds
[Outro]
Yeah, there's a big blue sky waiting right behind the clouds
