Currently the top country music song, according to Billboard.com, is “Let It Rain” by David Nail. David Nail is a fairly new voice to country music and only has a couple other songs out that have been top hits. These songs are “Red Light” and “I’m About To Come Alive.” David’s career started out rough, he always had a dream of singing country music but had trouble dealing with the city of Nashville the first time he move there. He then moved back home and after some time returned to Nashville. His career was looking up until his first album was never released. He turned to coaching baseball but didn’t give up hope. Introduced by his friend Frank Liddell he signed a recording deal with MCA Nashville in 2007.
David Nail is both the song writer and artist of “Let It Rain.” David had already come up with the phrase “Let It Rain” before he began writing this song. His lyrics are based off of a movie “The Last Kiss.” In the movie his fiancé leaves him and he is told he has to wait till she is ready. He sleeps on the steps and the weather gets progressively worse. At the end of the movie there is no dialogue and the reader is left to guess what happens to the couple. It only shows her coming back but it doesn’t reveal why.
It's hard to find the perfect time to say something
you know, is gunna change everything
Living with the shame,
it ain't nothing like the pain that I saw on her face
Now me and my pile of things
that she threw out the window,
Drowning next to me
No seven years of good cant hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring
So let it rain, let it pour, she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
last thing I remember was the unfamiliar taste of someone on my lips,
It's to late to turn around,

When the shades start coming down,
The guilt you feels the last thing on your mind
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
just let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve, just let it come down on me,
let it come down on me, let it rain,
Ooh let it rain, ooh let it rain, just let it rain, just let it rain, ooh let it rain
you know, is gunna change everything
Living with the shame,
it ain't nothing like the pain that I saw on her face
Now me and my pile of things
that she threw out the window,
Drowning next to me
No seven years of good cant hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring
So let it rain, let it pour, she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
last thing I remember was the unfamiliar taste of someone on my lips,

This song rocks! i drive around and listen to it like all the time, even though it's sad. :P
I haven't heard this song before, but I like how he's taking the responsibility and knows he's at fault.
