[Intro — acoustic guitar and piano; fiddle and pedal steel enter over a warm full band groove] [Verse 1] First drops darkened summer dust Along the gravel drive. She came walkin’ from the horse pen, Didn’t hurry back inside. I said, “How much do you figure?” She said, “More than yesterday.” Then we stood there by that pickup, Didn’t have a thing to say. [Chorus] Rain don’t fix everything, But it sure sounds good tonight. There’s still a note down at the bank; We’ll owe the same at morning light. The ground we kept is drinkin’ now, Got a chance to grow some green. We can work with what the rain brings— Rain don’t fix everything. [Turnaround — Telecaster with a piano answer] [Verse 2] I found a leak above the workbench, Set an old pail underneath. She came in to hang her jacket, Shook the water from her sleeve. We put “roof” back in the notebook, Then I walked down to the bend. Heard that creek run past the cottonwoods Like it knew the way again. [Chorus] Rain don’t fix everything, But it sure sounds good tonight. There’s still a note down at the bank; We’ll owe the same at morning light. The ground we kept is drinkin’ now, Got a chance to grow some green. We can work with what the rain brings— Rain don’t fix everything. [Instrumental — eight bars; fiddle leads, pedal steel answers] [Bridge — ease back to acoustic guitar, piano, and bass] I said, “There’s work to do tomorrow.” She said, “There always will be.” Then she pulled her chair up closer: “Let it rain. Sit here with me.” [Final Chorus — full band returns; warm harmonies] Rain don’t fix everything, But it sure sounds good tonight. There’s still a note down at the bank; We’ll owe the same at morning light. The ground we kept is drinkin’ now, Got a chance to grow some green. We can work with what the rain brings— Rain don’t fix everything. [Tag — warmly; hold the final phrase] Rain don’t fix everything, But it sure sounds good tonight.
