Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

I found you at the Waterline on a Friday when neither of us wanted to go home to ourselves. Under the lights, we could pretend it was only attraction. Then the tears came, and the evening got honest. I can't promise to take the hurt away. I can be here while you let some of it out.

Make It Rain

MAKE IT RAIN
Went out driving in my car
Made it down to this old dive bar
By that time I was feeling fine
Place they call the Waterline

A place where people come to dance
Another Friday night romance
Steel town band up on the stage
Make 'em feel ‘bout half their age
I was lonely just like you
Just a little older too
Broken Heart In pieces too
Watched you move into your groove

Saw you in a blue spotlight
Dancing through an endless night
Baby you are quite all right
I knew tonight would be our night

CHORUS
Make It Rain
Make It Rain
You drive this boy insane
Baby going to make it rain
Make it Rain
Make It Rain
I’m a storm rider on the plain
Baby gonna Make it Rain

Soon I saw her standing there
Like Mary Jane in her underwear
We made it to the hotel room
Window shades and harvest moon
I smiled and sang amazing Grace
A teardrop rolling down her face
I will take away your pain
And baby I will Make it Rain

CHORUS
Make It Rain
Make It Rain
You drive this boy insane
Baby going to make it Rain
Make it Rain
Make It Rain
Like a storm rider on the plain
Baby gonna make it rain

Before we break we must endure
For this heartache there is no cure
But if we’re pure or so they say
Then love will surely find a way

I’ll be down there feeling fine
Businessmen they drink my wine
Come on baby just in time
Back down to the Waterline
One old sailor sings his rhyme
Two won’t make it home in time
Lullaby to say good night
Before we put out the light

CHORUS
Make It Rain
Make It Rain
You drive this boy insane
Baby gonna to Make it Rain
Make it Rain
Make It Rain
I’m a storm rider on the plain
Baby gonna make it Rain
