Lyrics for Song: A Flood On Our Hands
Lyrics for Album: Streets Of Sin [2003]



The rivers are swollen, we got a flood on our hands

Get out the buckets and the pots and the pans

Mama put the pictures in the old wooden boat

Billy, get the baby and mama's overcoat



There's high ground at Greene at the old Gristmill Store

We can keep everybody dry if it don't rain no more

We got a flood on our hands

And the rains gonna keep comin' down



Has anybody talked to sister, since the lines went down?

She spent the night with Mandy on the low side of town

I do hope she's watchin' on the outside tonight

She ain't been herself, since she lost little Dwight



You don't never miss what you ain't got

Till you wake up some morning and you've lost the whole lot

We got a flood on our hands

And the rains gonna keep comin' down



Thank God we're all together, that's all we really need

You can not weather, you can plant new seed

No life is spared to the ones who blame

A God with out mercy, pride with out shame



Like Noah of old was put to the test

To see if his faith was deeper than the rest

We got a flood on our hands

And the rains gonna keep comin' down



Mama get the shotgun and the pictures of dad

Some day, we'll look back on everything we had

We got a flood on our hands

And the rains gonna keep comin' down
