The Rain

The skies opened up and the rain came down

And the lightning struck and I heard the sound

Of that holy rollin' thunder, rock and roll

It came all night till I damn near drowned

So I swam on up for higher ground

And I swear that high black water saved my soul

So take me as I am, my dear

And I'll take you far away from here

And live that life we live out in our dreams

Maybe we can take our turn

In the bright lights without gettin' burned

And find out just exactly what that means

Midnight brought the moon and stars

And there ain't no tellin' just how far

We can ride this ride and follow it on down

Maybe I'm a simple man

But crash and burn ain't in my plan

So we can love all night and live to fight another round

So take me as I am, my dear

And I'll take you far away from here

And live that life we live out in our dreams

Maybe we can take our turn

In the bright lights without gettin' burned

And find out just exactly what that means

The skies opened up and the rain came down

And the lightning struck and I heard the sound

Of that holy rollin' thunder, rock and roll

It came all night till I damn near drowned

So I swam on up for higher ground

And I swear that high black water saved my soul

And I swear that high black water saved my soul

And I swear that high black water saved my soul
