“This is probably my favorite song on the upcoming project, ‘Had It All Wrong’,” says Will Carter. “It absolutely captures the feeling of a final summer weekend back when you’re trying to decide between golf, fishing or getting your chores done. Just then, God makes his own plan, and it starts raining. This gives you no choice but to grab your baby, jump in the truck, hit the trails and go dancing in the rain.”
Preview the passionate lyrics below:
“But I can’t wait to dance in the Amarillo Rain with you
Your two bare feet standing on my old boots
Little piece of a heaven ‘neath the neon moon
I can’t wait to, I can’t wait to
Dance in the Amarillo Rain tonight
Get lost spinnin’ round in your baby blue eyes
Somethin’ different in the way you move
I can’t wait to, I can’t wait to
Dance in the Amarillo Rain with you”
