Kentucky Rain Jar

Lyrics

Verse 1
Old Kentucky rain on the tin roof
Bottles on the sill, that’s my proof
Mud at the door, boots in a line
Whole porch leaning like it’s past its time

Creek got swollen, dark and fast
Every little thing says nothing lasts
Your name in my mouth like a worn-out prayer
Clouds came low and stayed right there

Pre-Chorus
Hear that roll, hear that moan
Felt like the hills were calling me home
One drop, two drop, three on the frame
Then that old sky said my name

Chorus
Old Kentucky rain, wash me slow
Old Kentucky rain, don’t let go
Old Kentucky rain, on my skin
Old Kentucky rain, pull me in
(old Kentucky rain)

Verse 2
Front porch swing with a broken chain
Creekbank glitter in the steady rain
Mule in the shed, eyes half-closed
Cold wind cutting through my clothes

I seen hard days fold and bend
Seen sweet days leave by the end
But that rain keep talking low
Like it knows what I still know

Pre-Chorus
Hear that roll, hear that moan
Felt like the hills were calling me home
One drop, two drop, three on the frame
Then that old sky said my name

Chorus
Old Kentucky rain, wash me slow
Old Kentucky rain, don’t let go
Old Kentucky rain, on my skin
Old Kentucky rain, pull me in
(old Kentucky rain)

Bridge
If I move, I still come back
Red dirt road and that muddy track
Thunder far off, then close enough
Make a hard man soften up

Chorus
Old Kentucky rain, wash me slow
Old Kentucky rain, don’t let go
Old Kentucky rain, on my skin
Old Kentucky rain, pull me in
(old Kentucky rain)
