I was born in California
I was born of a true desire
I was born to love you honey
And to play this six string box of wire

I was raised in Oklahoma
to the strains of a country song
I was raised to find you honey
and to walk this world sometimes alone

Chorus
When the rain falls, I walk in it
When the snow falls, I just freeze
It's you that I call the very minute
When the sun shines down on me

I was down to almost nothing
almost gave my soul away
took me years out in the darkness
to stumble on to the light of day

Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty
throw some kisses at my grief
Lay me down when I am weary
I'll give to you my heart to keep

Repeat chorus
