Like Rain

“The Reason is You” rides in with heartfelt grit, a baritone voice telling the truth about living with purpose. Each verse shows a man who won’t be fooled, standing firm against empty choices while love drives him on. The lyrics paint fences, mountains, and moments when love is the only reason to take risks. A steady rhythm guides the verses, calm before bursting into full-band power in the chorus. Fiddle, steel, and guitars lift the story from restraint to devotion, building intensity. The chorus erupts with harmony and passion, declaring love as the reason to give everything. Toughness and tenderness weave together, revealing a grounded man called higher by love. Each verse adds conviction, letting the listener feel choices weighed against devotion. The bridge softens into quiet confession before soaring back with raw conviction. The song closes on echoes of promise, a timeless country story wrapped in fire and heart.

Lyrics
The Reason is You

Not been someone to do what others do
Could not see a reason to be a fool
Just because someone wants to act the clown
Never seen a reason to be dragged on down (no not me)

Been invited so many times, to do something cool
Something that was only cool, if you had no clue
There is nothing I would not do, if there was a need
Not doing anything that requires you to bleed (no not me)

Now, there is the other side of the fence
When you’re doing something for someone you love, hence
I have been known to jump a few fences, climb a few mountains
I will do it all, as long as what I am doing, the reason is you (yeah you, you know it)
Yeah you know it, I would do anything, if the reason is you (oooh yeah)

Anyone else, in my life, not going to do anything that makes no sense
Don’t care what you say, don’t care what the circumstance
Unless it is absolutely necessary, no chance of me doing anything stupid
Unless it is for you, I’d dress up as cupid as long as the reason is you (for sure)

Now, there is the other side of the fence
When you’re doing something for someone you love, hence
I have been known to jump a few fences, climb a few mountains
I will do it all, as long as what I am doing, the reason is you (yeah you, you know it)
Yeah you know it, I would do anything, if the reason is you (oooh yeah)

So yes, when it comes to you I have done some stupid things
Because, I would do anything, to make sure you stay my find
Not going to blow the chance, to be with you the rest of my life
So yes, if it is for you, if the reason is you, ooooh I’d do anything

Sounds like me, sounds like something I’d do
As long as the reason is you (yeah you)

You’re the reason (ah hah) then that’s fine (ah hah) (ah hah) (ah Hah) (ah hah) (ah hah) (ah Hah) (ah Hah)
