๐ Lyrics
My folks own the land round here
And our big old house now for some fifty odd years
We'd all seen a few rough days
But I never dreamed I'd watch it all get swept away
No one knows what causes angry rain
The water rushed right through this town just like a great big train
Years of hard work and memories
Are floatin' down big river on their way out to sea.
After the flood
After the flood
The land it washed away
Felt like my flesh and blood
I'd rather be shovelin'
Through the slush and mud
Than to leave my home
Where I grew up
Life goes on
After the flood
The Clover Inn Bar was hit pretty hard
The piano's lyin' in the street broken apart
My favorite old oak tree's rooted up
But I'll plant myself a new one after the flood
After the flood
After the flood
The land it washed away
Felt like my flesh and blood
I'd rather be shovelin'
Through the slush and mud
Than to leave my home
Where I grew up
Life goes on
After the flood
A place to call your very own
Means so much
Though it's a little soggy
After all the water's gone
I'll scrub it clean
And make it home again
A natural disaster can't hold nothin' on me
Their quakin' out west and freezin' back east
So I think I'll stick around
And show a little faith in a weary town
After the flood
After the flood
The land it washed away
Felt like my flesh and blood
I'd rather be shovelin'
Through the slush and mud
Than to leave my home
Where I grew up
Life goes on
After the flood
After the flood
After the flood
The land it washed away
Felt like my flesh and blood
I'd rather be shovelin'
Through the slush and mud
Than to leave my home
Where I grew up
Life goes on
After the flood
And our big old house now for some fifty odd years
We'd all seen a few rough days
But I never dreamed I'd watch it all get swept away
No one knows what causes angry rain
The water rushed right through this town just like a great big train
Years of hard work and memories
Are floatin' down big river on their way out to sea.
After the flood
After the flood
The land it washed away
Felt like my flesh and blood
I'd rather be shovelin'
Through the slush and mud
Than to leave my home
Where I grew up
Life goes on
After the flood
The Clover Inn Bar was hit pretty hard
The piano's lyin' in the street broken apart
My favorite old oak tree's rooted up
But I'll plant myself a new one after the flood
After the flood
After the flood
The land it washed away
Felt like my flesh and blood
I'd rather be shovelin'
Through the slush and mud
Than to leave my home
Where I grew up
Life goes on
After the flood
A place to call your very own
Means so much
Though it's a little soggy

And make it home again
A natural disaster can't hold nothin' on me
Their quakin' out west and freezin' back east

And show a little faith in a weary town
After the flood
After the flood
The land it washed away
Felt like my flesh and blood

Through the slush and mud
Than to leave my home
Where I grew up
Life goes on
After the flood
After the flood
After the flood
The land it washed away
Felt like my flesh and blood
I'd rather be shovelin'
Through the slush and mud
Than to leave my home
Where I grew up
Life goes on
After the flood
