The hope for rain hung in the air
On the night that we met
But all I got was a Farm to Market road
And an empty pack of cigarettes
You kicked your head back and laughed
When I grabbed your hand and asked you to dance
There I learned God picks and chooses prayes
And we never stood a change
[Chorus]
Shake me loose, baby
'Cause you know I'm gonna keep on runnin' back to you
Oh, the goddamn nerve you have
To let me fall in love like I said I do

Shake me loose, baby
'Cause you know I'm gonna keep on runnin' back to you
Oh, the goddamn nerve you have
The goddamn nerve you have
To let me fall in love like I said I do
