G
Boots in the mud, sky breakin’ wide,
D
Tailgate down, we were ready to ride.
Em
Crowd got loud, the thunder rolled,
C
That summer storm had a heart of gold.
G
She came runnin’ in with a sunlit grin,
D
Hair all soaked but she still got in.
Em
Said, “Hey cowboy, can I catch a view?”
C
I said, “Hop on up, I got room for two.”
⸻
[Chorus]
G
She was up on my shoulders in the rain,
D
Laughin’ like a rebel, wild and untamed.
Em
Indiana girl with a Midwest flame,
C
Didn’t know her name, but I loved her just the same.
G
One night, one dance, one runaway train—
D
Just me and her and that festival rain.
Em – C
Mmm-mmm… That festival rain.
⸻
[Verse 2]
G
Zach Top playin’, she knew every line,
D
Singin’ all the words to I Never Lie.
Em
Spinnin’ in circles, boots full of clay,
C
Didn’t need forever, we had that day.
G
She said, “This feels like a movie scene,”
D
With lightning flashin’ on the silver screen.
Em
We didn’t talk future, didn’t ask why,
C
Just crushed in the chaos and waved goodbye.
⸻
[Chorus 2]
G
She was up on my shoulders in the rain,
D
Twistin’ like fire in a hurricane.
Em
Indiana girl, gone without a name,
C
Left a heart-shaped hole I can’t explain.
G
One shot, one spark, one sweet little pain—
D
Just me and her and that festival rain.
Em – C
Mmm-mmm… that festival rain.
⸻
[Bridge] (Break down – acoustic or piano + vocals only)
Em
Yeah, maybe I’ll find her next July,
C
Or maybe she’s just a summer high.
G
But when that first drop hits my skin,
D
I swear I feel her laughin’ again…
⸻
[Final Chorus – BIG]
G
She was up on my shoulders in the rain,
D
Dancin’ through the storm like it never came.
Em
Indiana girl with a no-look aim,
C
Shot me down sweet, now nothin’s the same.
G
One night, one dream, one runaway flame—
D
Just me and her and that festival rain.
Em – C
Mmm-mmm… That festival rain.
⸻
[Outro – soft, slow down]
G
Yeah, I don’t know her name…
D
But I still see her —
Em – C
Shoulders in that… festival rain.
