| Me and my friends drove down to the riverside
|
| With a half case of beer and a couple bottles of wine
|
| And the rain started to fall
|
| We tipped our bottles and the river overflowed.
|
| Floodwater, carry me away
|
| Take my mind to another place
|
| Drown my sorrow, kill my fear
|
| Floodwater, take me far away from here.
|
| Guitars ringin', hazy smoke filled room
|
| People swayin', two-step drunken fools
|
| And it looks like stormy weather
|
| Emptied my glass, and everything got better.
|
| Floodwater, carry me away
|
| Send my mind to another place
|
| Drown my sorrow, kill my fear
|
| Floodwater, take me far away from here.
|
| Far away from the deep blue Texas skies
|
| The Red River creature tried to steal away my mind
|
| But the way, the truth and the light
|
| Would not forsake the one for '99.
|
| Floodwater, carry me away
|
| Send my mind to another place
|
| Drown my sorrow, kill my fear
|
| Floodwater, take me far away from here… |
