Verse 1 Dirt road baking in the midday heat Old man sleeping by his mailbox seat The neighbor’s fence is leaning on my own land He crossed a line that I didn’t plan… Mama always said that it’s easy to love The folks who give you what you’re thinking of But there’s a higher road we’ve gotta walk Beyond the fences and the bitter talk Chorus 'Cause the rain falls down on the broken and the right The sun warms the valley with the same sweet light It ain’t no victory just loving your own Even the wolves guard the pack that they have known So I’m gonna pray for the one who let me down And spread a little mercy through this country town Verse 2 It’s easy to smile when they smile at you To shake the hand of the man in the pew But the good book says that ain’t no grace To only love the friendly face The tax man, the sinner, they do the same Just keeping score in a selfish game So I’m reaching out across the gravel drive To keep a piece of heaven alive Chorus 'Cause the rain falls down on the broken and the right The sun warms the valley with the same sweet light It ain’t no victory just loving your own Even the wolves guard the pack they have known So I’m gonna pray for the one who let me down And spread a little mercy through this country town Bridge Perfect love ain’t an easy hill to climb It takes a whole lot of grace and a little time Be like the Father up above the blue Who lets His blessings shine on all of you Banjo and Fiddle Solo Chorus 'Cause the rain falls down on the broken and the right The sun warms the valley with the same sweet light It ain’t no victory just loving your own Even the wolves guard the pack they have known So I’m gonna pray for the one who let me down And spread a little mercy through this country town Outro Yeah, pray for the ones who let you down Let the rain fall on this town Love your enemies Just like He told us to Even Across the fence line You can Love them too
