Summer Rain (Response to Marie 's song Back Road Hearts)

[Verse 1] Out mending fences By the County Line Sun on the wire Dust in my eyes Then I saw her truck Coming up slow Red plum of dust Rolling low [Pre-Chorus] She always acts Like she’s made of steel But I know better I know what’s real She pulled up close And my heart gave way I knew right then I couldn’t wait [Chorus] Today I’m saying it I love you, girl I love you, girl Right here in this world You got me open Like summer rain I fell for you Like summer rain [Verse 2] She leaned on the door Arms crossed tight That same hard face She wears at night I touched her cheek And the armor fell Like rain on tin Like a ringing bell She looked at me With those soft brown eyes And every tough word Turned into sky [Pre-Chorus] She tried to laugh But she held my hand Like she’d been waiting To understand So I took a breath And I found my say I’m done with almost I’m done with maybe [Chorus] Today I’m saying it I love you, girl I love you, girl Right here in this world You got me open Like summer rain I fell for you Like summer rain [Bridge] If the road gets rough And the storms roll through I’ll be the post That holds us true No more hiding No more fear I’ve been yours Since you got near [Chorus] Today I’m saying it I love you, girl I love you, girl Right here in this world You got me open Like summer rain I fell for you Like summer rain
