She was being chased by her regrets
And needed some place else to be
She was trying to leave Savannah
And get back home to Tennessee
Her clothes piled in the backseat
She made it to the edge of town
That's when the rain began to fall
And where her old car broke down
In that soft Savannah rain
I saw her standing there
Her pretty face was framed
By her wet and long dark hair
I stopped and asked if I could help
She said you don't have what I need
Cause I'm trying to live with these shattered dreams
And I just want to be free
I was running from myself too
And finding it hard to be me
Packed up her things and put them in my truck
And we drove to Tennessee
In that soft Savannah rain
I saw her standing there
Her pretty face was framed
By her wet and long dark hair
Now my little girl comes to me
Any time the sky turns gray
And says Papa please tell me one more time
How you and Mama met that day
I tell her
In that soft Savannah rain
I saw her standing there
Her pretty face was framed
By her wet and long dark hair
We had no way of knowing we would lose our pain
It was all washed away by that soft Savannah rain
