I'm getting baptized by rain
Loving every second in the wide range
Dreams of living big with a beautiful lady
With a well-trained dog and a love that's steady
And I think of you in that white sundress
Under that sun, over my head
Hoping one day I'll hold your hand
And on that finger is a gold band
But for now
You're cussin' out my name
Lettin' out your rage
Make a fist, and you start to shove
Then I'll call the sheriff, you'll call my bluff, and oh
You scared me half to death
Had me holding my breath
But for now, I'm in this range
Getting baptized by rain
I'm baptized by rain
Wouldn't it be so damn nice
To work today, and not work tonight
And to make a living, and have some luck
Have some children, and make a buck with
Little ones running around
And some brand new shoes and a brand new house
And I'll get you a brand new blouse
And I'll be happy and you'll be proud, oh man
But that ain't how it goes
Look down and see my toes
Poking out of these worn old shoes
My face is red, my heart is blue
And oh, I'm in tryin' times
Hurtin' to save a dime
But I push it all away
While I'm getting baptized by rain
Getting baptized by rain
Outside and away from shame
Think of gold streets and the better days
And maybe I'll listen to what He says
And build a life on solid land
And I'll hear the words from every tongue
And I'll stand sure, then rise above
I'll share His name, heed His call
Wash my sin through it all, I realized
I've been turnin' my back
With not much more to ask
Well, I wanted your mouth, I wanted that house
But it means nothing at all
So, I look to better days
Just filled with that grace
As I stand here amazed
Getting baptized by rain
Oh, I'm baptized by rain
Oh, I'm baptized by rain
I'm baptized by rain
Oh, I'm baptized by rain
I'm baptized by rain
Oh, I'm baptized by rain
I'm baptized by
Baptized by
Baptized by rain
