Lyrics
The First Drop Of Rain
Verse 1
Ice was like money that steamy summer
It got hot and then got hotter
Skinny dippin' down in Culpepper's pond was like
Swimming in the devil's bath water
Verse 2
And my ol' blue Chevy burned up that August
And I was feeling about the same
Until you pulled up in that beat-up truck
Like the first drop of rain
Chorus
Like the first drop of rain
Like the first drop of rain
Verse 3
From the fields we could hear a distant train
And bells ringing in the chapel
Tripping over words and falling into kisses
Oh, just like children bob for apples
Verse 4
Making love to you beneath the summer sun
In your hair you wore a flower chain
And the smile you wore promised there was more
Like the first drop of rain
Verse 5
I thought you had loving me on your mind
Tapping on my window so late
I tried to touch you when you whispered through the screen
The doctor says that I'm due in May
Verse 6
When you saw my smile you looked away and said
I'm too young to be picking out names
There in your eyes, when they met up with mine
Was the first drop of rain
