Sweet Summer Rain Lyrics

Intro: G Am7
Three or four miles down a red dirt road
An' a green-eyed girl an' I used to go to see her-----
I'd pull up the drive an' she'd jump in
An' we'd head off down around the bend to the river----
Find a perfect spot an' throw a blanket on the ground
Sit there talkin', till the sun went down-- about nothin
Then one hot day in June,
The clouds rolled in right out of the blue.
As we ran for cover, I could smell her perfume, in that...
Chorus:
Sweet-------
Sweet summer rain
Oh, that sweet-------
Sweet summer rain
We were jumpin' an' a-runnin' an' a-laughin' out loud.
The sky opened up like the bottom fell out of Heaven, yeah.
We dove in the car, turned the radio on,
Sat there soakin', singing along with Elton, Bennie And The Jets.
She turned an' looked my way,
Those raindrops slowly runnin' down on her face.
I reached out an' kissed her, well I remember the taste, of that..
Sweet summer rain, it keeps blowin' through my mind
Even after all this time, I can't forget that moment
Yeah, we were fallin', just like that...
CHORUS (x2)
