Rain Soaked Dreams

[Intro] (Soft acoustic guitar picking, gentle rain sound effect fades in then out) [Verse 1] Rain hammered down on the midnight tar Her headlights weak, like a dying star But deeper down, a fierce fire glowed A dream of family, a future sowed He should've been home, safe in his bed But overtime kept him out instead A wrong turn taken, a call he couldn't f***t God put him right there, in her flickering light [Chorus] Oh, she was young, he was too Just two lost souls, seein' life through She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh He said "Never," 'til he caught her eye Placed by an angel, meant to meet On that rain-washed, empty street Two roads collided where the headlights gleamed Startin' the journey, just like they dreamed [Verse 2] He dug his heels in, "Kids? Not for me" But her gentle hope was all he could see She showed a future worth standin' tall for Cracked open a heart he'd locked the door Twenty long winters, the road got steep Plenty of valleys, shadows so deep But hand in hand, they faced the gale and storm Two saplings grew, took their own true form [Chorus] Oh, she was young, he was too Just two lost souls, seein' life through She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh He said "Never," 'til he caught her eye Placed by an angel, meant to meet On that rain-washed, empty street Two roads collided where the headlights gleamed Livin' the journey, just like they dreamed [Bridge] The young ones are flown, found their own way Mom and Dad showed 'em how to stay Through broken blacktop, they found the light The trip ain't over, dawn burns so bright She craves the mountains, the ocean's cry He loves the porch swing, watchin' time fly But when she points the car towards the sun He grabs his hat, says "Lead on, hon" [Chorus] Oh, she was young, he was too Just two lost souls, seein' life through She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh He said "Never," 'til he caught her eye Placed by an angel, meant to meet On that rain-washed, empty street Two roads collided where the headlights gleamed Still on the journey, just like they dreamed [Outro] (Acoustic guitar repeats chorus melody gently, fading slowly with a final soft strum)
