The song is a piano ballad, that features fiddle and steel guitar fills. The narrator, who remembers the times she spent with her love under the "Georgia rain", returns to the place of her childhood. She notes that although everything has changed over the years, but that one thing remains the same; her affection for her first love and the Georgia rain that still falls, reminding her of the experience.
It was originally titled "A Gust of Rain," but its lyrics were altered upon Yearwood's request to include references to Jasper County.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“Strange that so few ever come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light,—to see its perfect success; but most are content to behold it in the shape of many broad boards brought to market, and deem that its true success! But the pine is no more lumber than man is, and to be made into boards and houses is no more its true and highest use than the truest use of a man is to be cut down and made into manure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It seems that I must bid the Muse to pack,
Choose Plato and Plotinus for a friend
Until imagination, ear and eye,
Can be content with argument and deal
In abstract things; or be derided by
A sort of battered kettle at the heel.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our being; we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine. We labor unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary existence and neglect the real.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
