Had lips like candy
Hair floated like water
Skin like velvet made

The whole damn world slow down
She was a preacher's daughter
Never did what daddy taught her

And the rebel in her soul
Brought her to me


The river was cold
And the river was wide
She flowed from the mountain

Straight across the great divide
And her heart ran cold
But her love runs deep

She's fire on the mountain
Wrecking everyone she meets


She's like rain when she rolls in
But that sunshine in her thunder
Makes the loneliest heart wonder

If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be storm clouds inside
Oh but don't you worry friend

She's coming around the bend
She's holding lightning in both hands


Lord please know
It's not time for me to go
The river has my heart

She's the keeper of my soul
On one side of the water
Sweet everlasting grace

The other side could end your life
Or steal your breath away


She's like rain when she rolls in
But that sunshine in her thunder
Makes the loneliest heart wonder

If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be storm clouds inside
Oh but don't you worry friend

She's coming around the bend
She's holding lightning in both hands


She's a natural disaster
She'll tear the land in two
She's running to be running

Cause it's all she knows to do
She's a tumbleweed rolling
A river running wild

A hurricane blowing
She's the calm after the storm
Under an Appalachian sunset sky


She's like rain when she rolls in
But that sunshine in her thunder

Makes the loneliest heart wonder
If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be storm clouds inside

Oh but don't you worry friend
She's coming around the bend
She's holding lightning in both hands


She's like rain
She rolls in

But there's sunshine in her thunder
She's coming around the band
She's holding lightning in both hands
