AboutBeth Burgess Expertise I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.
Experience I've been a country music fan for all of my 25 years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!
Education/Credentials I'm currently enrolled in law school (so if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have excellent research skills!)
Question I heard a country song on the radio the other day - it was about starting over- I wish that I could remember more, but it was something about letting rain (or something) wash over me and letting it wash away all of the pain/hurt. It was NOT "Let it go" by Tim Mcgraw. It was not about moving on away from the relationship but beginning again in a relationship, about moving forward together after they had hurt one another. I think it is relatively new. Hope you can help - i have been listening to country day and night to hear it again.
Answer Hi Sherry! I'm not sure if this is the song you're looking for, because it's not really new, but Dierks Bentley's "Come a Little Closer" has the line "I want to touch you like a cleansin' rain And let it wash all the hurt away" in it. That's the lyric that's been stuck in my head while trying to answer your question, so see what you think! Hope this helps!
--Beth
Come a little closer baby
I feel like layin' you down
On a bed of sweet surrender
Where we can work it all out
There ain't nothin' that love can't fix
Girl it's right here at our fingertips
So come a little closer baby
I feel like layin' you down
Come a little closer baby
I feel like lettin' go
Of everything that stands between us
And the love we used to know
I want to touch you like a cleansin' rain
And let it wash all the hurt away
So come a little closer baby
I feel like lettin' go
If there's still a chance then take my hand
And we'll steal away
Off into the night 'til we make things right
The sun's gonna rise on a better day
Come a little closer baby
I feel like strippin' it down
Back to the basics of you and me
And what makes the world go 'round
Every inch of you against my skin
I wanna be stronger than we've ever been
So come a little closer baby
I feel like strippin' it down
Come a little closer baby
Just a little bit closer baby
Come a little closer baby
I feel like layin' you down
