Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tiny one-room on the edge of this town
Hand-me-down couch, mattress on the ground
Saved you a drawer, though you weren't here yet
Your picture on the fridge so I wouldn't forget
[Chorus]
I waited on you like rain in July
Like a long dirt road finding the highway sign
Thought I was foolish, hangin' on a dream that thin
But every long year led me right to your hand
Now we're standin' in the life we planned back then
Took the long way ‘round
But I finally pulled you in
[Verse 2]
Worked late nights just to pay that note
You were on my mind with every mile I drove
Friends all married, I just smiled and waved
Kept one empty chair at every holiday
[Chorus]
I waited on you like rain in July
Like a long dirt road finding the highway sign
Thought I was foolish, hangin' on a dream that thin
But every long year led me right to your hand
Now we're standin' in the life we planned back then
Took the long way ‘round
But I finally pulled you in
[Bridge]
Now there's boots by the door
Two mugs on the counter (oh yeah)
Kids’ toys in the hall
Our names on the same bank account
Funny how a life can change
From someday, maybe
To "darlin', look around"
This is what we were waitin' for
[Chorus]
I waited on you like rain in July
Like a long dirt road finding the highway sign
Thought I was foolish, hangin' on a dream that thin
But every long year led me right to your hand
Now we're living out the life we planned back then
Took the long way ‘round
But I finally pulled you in
Yeah, we took the long way ‘round
But I finally pulled you in

Style
country, Warm modern country ballad, male vocals. Fingerpicked acoustic and soft piano in the verses; brushed snare and subtle pedal steel easing in. Chorus blooms with big drums, stacked harmonies, and a sing-along, windows-down feel. Last chorus adds fiddle swells and ad-libbed tail for a cathartic, made-it-together payoff.
