A Flood on Our Hands
The rivers are swollenWe got a flood on our handsGet out the bucketsAnd the pots and pansMama, put the picturesIn the old wooden boatBilly, get the babyAnd mama's overcoatThere's high ground at GreneAt the old Gristmill Store We can keep everybody dryIf it don't rain no moreWe got a flood on our handsThe rain's gonna keep comin' downHas anybody talked to sisterSince the lines went down?She spent the night with Mandy On the low side of townI do hope she's watchin'On the outside tonightShe ain't been herselfLetras de cancionesSince she lost little DwightYou don't never missWhat you ain't got 'Till you wake up some morning And you've lost the whole lotWe got a flood on our handsThe rain's gonna keep comin' downThank God we're all togetherThat's all we really needYou can't change the weatherBut you can plant new seedNo life is sparedTo the ones who blameA god without mercyPride without shameLike Noah of oldWas put to the testTo see if his faithWas deeper than the restWe got a flood on our handsAnd the rain's gonna keep comin' downMama, get the shotgunAnd the pictures of dadSomeday well look backOn everything we hadWe got a flood on our handsThe rain's gonna keep comin' down
