[Verse 1]
Late light fading in a Sunday sky
Coffee cup cooling by my side
First drop hits that old tin roof
Then a hundred more come looking for the truth
[Chorus]
September rain on a metal roof
Keeps time with my easy mood
Every little tap taps my troubles loose
Just a front porch prayer in two-four groove
I don’t need much
Just this old view
And September rain on a metal roof (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Bare feet up on a busted rail
Dog curled tight by my flannel tail
Worries out there
Far past the gate
Here it’s just the storm and the sound it makes
[Chorus]
September rain on a metal roof
Keeps time with my easy mood
Every little tap taps my troubles loose
Just a front porch prayer in two-four groove
I don’t need much
Just this old view
And September rain on a metal roof
[Bridge]
Let it pour
Let it stay
I could sit right here all day
Heart laid back
World slowed down
While that silver rhythm washes this town
[Chorus]
September rain on a metal roof
Keeps time with my easy mood
Every little tap taps my troubles loose
Just a front porch prayer in two-four groove
I don’t need much
Just this old view
And September rain on a metal roof
Yeah
September rain on a metal roof
