Rain is a good thing

Rain is a good thing
by Luke Bryan
(Farmers talking about the importance of rain) 
My daddy spent his life lookin’ up at the sky
He’d cuss, kick the dust, sayin’ son it’s way too dry
It clouds up in the city, the weather man complains
But where I come from, rain is a good thing
Chorus:
Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey
Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky
Back roads are boggin’ up, my buddies pile up in my truck
We hunt our honeys down, we take ’em into town
Start washin’ all our worries down the drain
Rain is a good thing
Ain’t nothin’ like a kiss out back in the barn
Wringin’ out our soakin’ clothes, ridin’ out a thunderstorm
When tin roof gets to talkin’; that’s the best love we made
Yea where I come from, rain is a good thing
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Farmer Johnson does a little dance
Creeks on the rise, roll up your pants
Country girls, they wanna cuddle
Kids out playin’ in a big mud puddle
Repeat Chorus
Rain is a good thing, rain is a good thing, rain is a good thing

Visit #3 Girlie nerves

Tuesday, August 9

8:26am
Good morning! 70s humid sunny. Odd dream – huge lobster chasing me. Maybe ghosts of my weekend meals? Hope your day rolls easily!

8:41am
Phil: All of those places look good! Any would be fine. Have a great Tuesday!

6:15pm
Glad those made sense to you. Wish I was there now!

7:00pm
Head full of what it will be like. Mostly very excited about swallowing creamy clam chowder and sucking lobster legs. Mixed w/ nerves – idiot girlie stuff – what to wear and whether my short hair is scary so I should wear the wig… it doesn’t matter but my brain won’t stop! Ah, well, all part of the fun!

11:15 pm
Pouring rain here, smells like the ocean.
Tempts me to dance in it! Sweet dreams, kid.

Rori, the founder of the Between My Sheets blog does a fun thing every August – ask readers to tell her who should be nominated for the 2012 top sexy bloggers list.  Her 2011 list is how I found Riff Dog of Ashley and Me who inspired me to blog!

Rori’s Nomination post

Sadly, I am not technically eligible because I haven’t been blogging for a year.  She says she’ll consider bloggers who’ve been around since January 1, 2012 but I figure I don’t need to horn in this year.
