Like A River Dreams Of Rain Lyrics - Joe Diffie

I took the last drag of my last lucky 

As I left that old caf 

I heard the gravel crunchin' like our broken hearts 

As I watched her walk away 

We were close to almost perfect 

I could've swore she was the one 

But ain't it funny how the little loose things 

Can make it all come undone 

But I keep one foot in front of the other 

I'm just tryin' to outrun the pain 

And I keep dreamin' of that perfect love 

Like a river dreams of rain 

Well, I've been through the droughts and the deserts 

Yeah, this ain't my first dry spell 

Until I find it strange to feel my old can tin 

I just throw another nickel in the well 

And put one foot in front of the other 

I'm just tryin' to outrun the pain 

And I keep dreamin' of that perfect love 

Like a river dreams of rain 

And when the rain comes and I know it will 

I'm gonna let it soak me to the bone 

I'm gonna stand out in it and drink my fill 

And let that come and pull me home 

Until then I'll keep one foot in front of the other 

I'm just tryin' to outrun the pain 

And I'll keep dreamin' of that perfect love 

Like a river dreams of rain 

Oh, like a river dreams of rain
