VERSE1
Rain was pouring down outside Atlanta
I wasnt having any luck at all
Trying to stay dry but I couldnt thumb a ride
So I stood there in the rain and watched it fall
 
VERSE2
Started thinking back to Arizona
Remembering a lesson I had learned
Every word she said
Kept on ringing through my head
And suddenly the crying had returned
 
CHORUS
I was crying in the rain outside Atlanta
Hoping that nobody else would see
Even after all these years
The rain cant hide the tears
But it couldnt wash away the memory
Of somebody I loved getting free
 
VERSE3
I knew what I wanted when I saw her
But I wanted more than she could give
More than wanting me she just wanted to be free
There was still some life she had to live
 
VERSE4
Finally got a ride on down to Florida
I didnt know exactly what Id find
Trying to forget a woman that I met
But I just cant seem to get her off my mind

 
(CHORUS)
