I hit the road and I said goodbye I saw in you a different life Something that I cannot explain And the road it is ever long I heard a voice in a song Whispering choices I cannot take All of your tears dissipate like summer rain, Ooh the rain. All of my life washed away by summer rain, Ooh the rain, Anticipates the rolling thunder tonight. I made a stop at the edge of town, Got some gas, settled my mind down. I turned around, I could not escape. All of those years, poured down like summer rain, Ooh the rain. All of my life washed away by summer rain, Ooh the rain, Dissipates, washes away everything. All of my life washed away by summer rain, Ooh the rain. All of those years dissipate like summer rain, Ooh the rain, Anticipates the coming storms in our lives.
