Lyrics

That Damn River
Marvin Floyd

:16 The rains are coming, we've seen, this mess before
Fill the sand bags, and dam the door
Get the live stock, don't forget the kids,
Get em all, to higher ground
The river's , coming up fast, but it won't take us down
No, it won't us down

:48 That damn river, is over its banks
Gonna loose the house, to the river, no thanks
We , were gonna move, but we just didn't
No we just didn't

1:04 With all these memories, what?, leave, we, just couldn't
Gonna build a new house, on the hill, who wouldn't
Gonna build it up high, upon that hill, with the chickens and goats
And a brand new boat,.... just in case

1:36 Yeah, let the rains come, we've seen this before
No need, to get sand bags, anymore
All the things we love, are on higher ground
If the river come up, it won't take us down
Cause we've made plans, on higher ground
Yeah, we're gonna be safe , on higher ground

2:13. That damn river, is over its banks
But we won't loose the house, well, thanks
Said we were gonna move , and we just did...
And we did........

2:31 With all these memories, what, leave? we just couldn't
We built a new house, on the hill, who wouldn't
Way up high, upon that hill, with chickens and goats
And a brand new boat,.... just in case
