Snow to spring
Summer then fall (fall)
I care for you
Y'all (you all)
Hand-me-down shoes
Same hall
But I held you like you gold in a paper bag
Dad told me one thing on the porch that day
Pointin' at the sky
Ash on his face
Said
"Love gon' cost
Pain gon' stay
You can keep the change
Kid
Learn to pray"
Ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Drippin' off a tin roof
Wash that shame
Everything else got a tag
Got a chain
But ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Fall on the rich side
Fall on the plain
If I give you my heart
That's paid in strain
'Cause ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Snow to spring
You grew so fast
We was eatin' from the same small stash
Shared one coat
Laughed at the past
Now you talk like you never knew lack
You forgot those long lines
Late nights
Long walks
You forgot them shut-off calls
Those talks
I ain't mad
Just stand in the storm with me
If you ride in the sun
Ride in the grief
Ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Drippin' off a tin roof
Wash that shame
Everything else got a tag
Got a chain
But ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Fall on the rich side
Fall on the plain
If I give you my heart
That's paid in strain
'Cause ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
From snow to sprang
I stayed
I stayed (yeah)
Held you through droughts
Through flooded days
If I walk away
You'll hear his phrase
"Keep the change
Kid" echo in the rain
Ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Drippin' off a tin roof
Wash that shame
Everything else got a tag
Got a chain
But ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Ain't nothing free but rain (rain) rain
Fall on the rich side
Fall on the plain
If I give you my heart
That's paid in strain
'Cause ain't nothing free but rain (rain)
