Southern Rain Lyrics

Times were rough when times were lean Most the time nobody seemed to care No more peace than a southern breeze whistling through the willow trees And I see you standing there
And I reach out to touch your face But the cold hard facts of life put me in my place
Southern rain falling down on me Thinking back to yesterday and the way things used to be Sweet home, on the radio, why do things have to change Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain, oh
Watermelon growing on the vine, the sweet taste of homemade wine And the soft touch of your fingertips Laying down by the riverside do you recall how we used to hide So I could taste your lips
Though the winds of change took me from home So many years just passed me by and now I'm all alone
Southern rain falling down on me Thinking back to yesterday and the way things used to be Sweet home, on the radio, why do things have to change Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain
You said that we could last forever But I had my wild oats yet to sow Through every storm and each endeavor The past and the love we found just will not let me go
Southern rain falling down on me Thinking back to yesterday and the way things used to be Sweet home, on the radio, why do things have to change Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern, southern rain
Oh, to feel that southern rain Oh, to feel that southern rain Oh, to feel that southern rain Southern rain, can you feel that southern rain No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
