[Verse 1]
Rain hit the tin roof, came down hard
Red clay running past the old barnyard
You pulled me close by the rusted gate
Said, “Some things flood, but they don’t wash away”
We started with a trickle, just a creek-bed thread
Two tired hearts and the words we never said
Then the clouds broke open over county road nine
And your hand found mine like it had all this time
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days the fields turn brown and cracked
Some nights we wonder if the water’s coming back
But underneath this ground, where nobody knows
There’s a deep well turning slow
[Chorus]
Our love is rain on the farm, beating on the roof
Water tank overflowing, spilling past the truth
It gets high, it gets low, rolls with the seasons’ call
But it never runs dry, no, it never runs out at all
When the creek jumps the bank and the hard wind blows
I still find you where that old oak grows
Our love is rain on the farm, steady through it all
Water tank overflowing, even when the level falls
[Verse 2]
We’ve had lean months, bills stacked by the stove
Long drives home with a heavy load
You were mad, I was proud, both digging in
Then you left two biscuits cooling by the sink
That was your way of saying, “Come back inside”
Mine was pulling your chair up to my side
No grand parade, no polished speech
Just muddy boots and a hand within reach
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days the tank runs close to the ground
Some words hit hard, make a hollow sound
But the old steel holds what the dry winds know
There’s more beneath than what we show
[Chorus]
Our love is rain on the farm, beating on the roof
Water tank overflowing, spilling past the truth
It gets high, it gets low, rolls with the seasons’ call
But it never runs dry, no, it never runs out at all
When the creek jumps the bank and the hard wind blows
I still find you where that old oak grows
Our love is rain on the farm, steady through it all
Water tank overflowing, even when the level falls
[Bridge]
If the summer burns the pasture gold
If the winter locks the hinges cold
I’ll haul that water, you light that fire
We’ll keep this heart above the wire
Let the sky give less, let the well sink deep
There’s enough of us for the promises we keep
[Final Chorus]
Our love is rain on the farm, beating on the roof
Water tank overflowing, strong enough to pull us through
It gets high, it gets low, but it answers when we call
It never runs dry, no, it never runs out at all
When the creek jumps the bank and the hard wind blows
I still find you where that old oak grows
Our love is rain on the farm, steady through it all
Water tank overflowing, even when the level falls
[Outro]
So let it pour, let the dry days come
We’ve got a well beneath what we’ve become
Rain on the farm, your hand in mine
Still overflowing, one season at a time
