The song is in the key of D major. The first verse follows the chord pattern of D-F♯m/C♯m-G/B-A-D twice, followed by D-F♯m-G/B-Gm/B♭-D-Bm-D/A-G-G/A-D. After this single verse is a bridge following the chord pattern Bm-F♯-Gm6. In the song, a male narrator asks his former lover if it is "raining at [her] house".[2]
Lorrie Morgan covered the song on her 2016 album Letting Go...Slow. Morgan's cover features sound effects of rain and thunder fading into the song's beginning, and again fading out at the song's end.
