"Heavier Rain" lyrics

Almost died to a flashflood in the spring of
Two thousand and ten
Every time thunder struck, it was hella loud
Poundin' in the back of my ear
Pictures burned in my brain
Still make my spine shiver
Of the dead livestock and old work trucks
Floatin' the the mouth of the river
Old folks on the roof, prayin' to God
To get baptized in the dark, cold river
So when you threaten me, it's excitin' to see
How you think you scare me mister

So if the record labels try to drown me out
You'll see crazy eyes and a crooked smile sittin' on my mouth
And I ain't made of sugar or carry no shame
'Cause I've seen heavier rain
Yeah, I'm rebel tough, still carry no shame
'Cause I've seen heavier rain
Heavier rain
I've seen heavier rain

Some chase the standard of famous and pampered
For theirself, make no decision
Some like the danger and backroad cocaine
And six-speed Chevy transmissions
Tell mainstream I said, "Come get some"
You won't even know you're bigger
'Cause this country boy ain't a label's playtoy
I come from the mouth of the river

So if the record labels try to drown me out
You'll see crazy eyes and a crooked smile sittin' on my mouth
And I ain't made of sugar or carry no shame
'Cause I've seen heavier rain
Yeah, I'm rebel tough, still carry no shame
'Cause I've seen heavier rain
Heavier rain
I've seen heavier rain

Sink or you swim, son, I been on a limb
As people's lives get swept from their fences
And Pawpaw died before he seen his first grandson
Saddle up country music and tame it

So if the record labels try to drown me out
You'll see crazy eyes and a crooked smile sittin' on my mouth
And I ain't made of sugar or carry no shame
'Cause I've seen heavier rain
Yeah, I'm rebel tough, still carry no shame
'Cause I've seen heavier rain
Heavier rain
I've seen heavier rain

Yeah, I've seen heavier rain
