I Wish I Didn’t Like the Rain

(Verse 1)
Sixty on a county road
Speed limit thirty-five
That’s how I spent my summer
Back in 1985
I was on my way to Buckwild
And she was waiting there on me
Like lipstick on a hurricane
She’s all I’d never need
But I just couldn't leave

(Chorus)
I get by for a while
Getting off on the thunder
Getting high on going under
I don’t try but I
Keep tradin’ pleasure for the pain

I wish I didn’t like the rain
I wish I didn’t like the rain

(Verse 2)
Well I sure would like to tell you
That the man you see right now
Has finally learned his lesson
Got a few things figured out
But I still love a downpour
And some crazy in my drink
While I’m in over my head
But I’m still smiling while I sing

(Chorus)
I get by for a while
Getting off on the thunder
Getting high on going under
I don’t try but I
Keep tradin’ pleasure for the pain

I wish I didn’t like the rain
I wish I didn’t like the rain
I wish I didn’t like the rain

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)
I get by for a while
Getting off on the thunder
Getting high on going under
I don’t try but I
Keep tradin’ pleasure for the pain

I wish I didn’t like the rain
I wish I didn’t like the rain
I wish I didn’t like the rain

(Instrumental outro)
