I'm thinking the song might be seen from the perspective of the grapes, making Maynard the powerful, rainmaking entity the song is directed at. His farm is in Arizona and probably gets a lot of it's "rainfall" from a river or a water reservoir. The lyrics says 'relieve us', I find it likely that it would be 'relieve me' if seen from a human perspective.

Killer song, killer album.
