Southern Rain Lyrics

There's a place deep inside of me
Where I go
When the world gets too much
The child inside can chase away
The madness
From another day of livin'
Lately I don't know
Who I am no more
Lost, when I look at my life
Chasin' things I don't need
I see the man
I want to be slippin' away

But I can hear
The thunder call me
Back from where I came
There's a part of me
Still there walkin' down
That country lane
If I could go back
Would it ever be the same
The closest that I've been
To heaven
Is standin' in the southern rain
Barefoot boy
Walks along the river
Feels a breeze
And gentle raindrops on his face
I can go there in my mind
When I wanna leave behind
This foolish race
But I can hear
The thunder call me
Back from where I came
There's a part of me
Still there walkin' down
That country lane
If I could go back
Would it ever be the same
The closest that I've been
To heaven
Is standin' in the southern rain

If I've ever been to heaven
It's when I'm in the southern rain
