The rain makes me thirsty and fighting to go.

My mind turns determined, dark as a storm.

So my love has grown as sharp as a bramble rose,
The speaker's love has become as sharp as a bramble rose, suggesting a toughened and defensive emotional state.
Like a real good woman nobody knows.
The speaker likens herself to a real good woman hidden from the understanding of others.
I get so ashamed for making you blue.
Feelings of shame arise in the speaker for causing distress to a loved one.
I come back to this porch to make it all up to you.
The porch symbolizes a place of reconciliation where the speaker seeks to make amends.
The rain's got me thirsty, falling wasteful and slow.

I'm restless enough, I'm so scared to go.

I'm a real good woman nobody knows.
The speaker reiterates being a real good woman, yet her true self remains unknown to others.
Do you think I'll be happy out on the wind?
A contemplation on whether the speaker will find happiness when facing challenges and uncertainties.
Do you think I'll get halfway 'fore it's raining again?
Expressing doubt about progress, wondering if there will be setbacks represented by rain.
Will I find that I'm true when it's hardest to be,
Pondering whether the speaker's true character will emerge during difficult times.
Or will the notions I follow have all turned on me?
A question about the reliability of the principles the speaker follows, and whether they will betray her.
Once my love has blown as far as a bramble rose,
The speaker's love has traveled far and faced challenges, like a bramble rose carried by the wind.
Just a real good woman nobody knows.
Reiterating the theme of being a real good woman hidden from the awareness of others.
