Georgia Rain

(album: PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit - 2014)

Barefoot in the bed of your truck,
On a blanket looking up.
Half a moon peeking down at us,
From underneath the clouds.
Teenage kids sneaking out again...
I heard the thunder rolling in.
We were falling the moment when,
It all came pouring down.

The Georgia rain on the Jasper county clay,
Couldn't wash away what I felt for you that day.
Just you an' me down an ol' dirt road...
Nothing in our way except for the Georgia rain.

The cotton fields remember when,
Flash of lightning drove us in.
We were soaked down to the skin,
By the time we climbed inside.
An' I don't remember what was pounding more...
The heart in my chest or the hood of that Ford.
As the sky fell in an' the storm clouds poured,
Worlds away outside.

The Georgia rain on the Jasper county clay,
Couldn't wash away all the love we made.
Just you an' me down that ol' dirt road...
No one saw a thing except for the Georgia rain.

Screen door flapping in the wind...
Same ol' house I grew up in.
I can't believe I'm back again,
After all these years away.
You fixed your Daddy's house up nice...
I saw it yesterday when I drove by.
Looks like you've made yourself a real good life...
What else can I say?

The Georgia rain on the Jasper county clay,
Couldn't wash away the way I loved you to this day.
The old dirt road's paved over now,
Nothing here's the same except for the Georgia rain.

Couldn't wash away.
