It's wetter when the spring rolls along It's hotter than hell when we met last fall It gets better and better every time we touch A sticky situation we're in Trapped in the car and it's raining again And girl every time it stops Lord, I miss it so much And I want to take the top off And throw it in the barn, man And just put it in drive
And run in to that sweet Carolina rain Yeah, that sweet Carolina rain
We drive on out to the river again Just praying to God my ship comes in I'm just a modern-day Tom but an old Huck Finn Get my guit - pick her out the trunk Get the pick, boy, just to bring me some luck And I'm gonna sweep her off her feet like the southern wind It's really coming down now Yeah, well, it's really coming down now
That sweet Carolina rain Yeah, that sweet Carolina rain
Soaking wet in the middle of the afternoon A little honky-tonk in every blaring ride Playing "David Allen Coe please come to Boston" tune Yeah, reaching for a little piece of that pie A brave man lost feel of the rain on his face About to it eat up now The preacher man's daughter said I was born again I'm a little superstitious now Driving down the road going a hundred and ten Bragging to your mama's little boy he's a man You swear you'll never feel that way again Now, now, until you're back in that sweet Carolina rain Yeah, that sweet Carolina rain Ah, that sweet Carolina rain Yeah, that sweet Carolina rain
