After the Flood
My folks own the land round hereAnd our big old house now for some fifty odd yearsWe'd all seen a few rough daysBut I never dreamed I'd watch it all get swept awayNo one knows what causes angry rainThe water rushed right through this town just like a great big trainYears of hard work and memoriesAre floatin? down big river on their way out to seaAfter the floodAfter the floodThe land it washed awayFelt like my flesh and bloodI'd rather be shovelin'Through the slush and mudThan to leave my home where I grew upLife goes on after the floodThe Clover Inn Bar was hit pretty hardThe piano's lyin? in the street broken apartMy favorite old oak tree's rooted upBut I'll plant myself a new one after the floodAfter the floodLetras de cancionesAfter the floodThe land it washed awayFelt like my flesh and bloodI'd rather be shovelin'Through the slush and mudThan to leave my home where I grew upLife goes on after the floodA place to call your very own means so muchThough it's a little soggyAfter all the water's goneI'll scrub it clean and make it home againA natural disaster can't hold nothin' on meTheir quakin' out west and freezin' back eastSo I think I'll stick aroundAnd show a little faith in a weary townAfter the floodAfter the floodThe land it washed awayFelt like my flesh and bloodI'd rather be shovelin'Through the slush and mudThan to leave my home where I grew upLife goes on after the floodAfter the floodAfter the floodThe land it washed awayFelt like my flesh and bloodI'd rather be shovelin'Through the slush and mudThan to leave my home where I grew upLife goes on after the flood
