River Takes the Town - The Wood Brothers

I hope the levee in Shreveport does what it’s s’posed to do

Cuz the rain keeps comin', yeah the rain keeps comin'

I must’ve called you 99 times but I couldn’t get through

And the rain keeps comin', yeah the rain keeps comin'

And the rain keeps comin', yeah the rain keeps comin'

Nothin’s ever for certain 'til the levee breaks down

The water comes in and the river, the river takes the town

There’s a shelter at the high school gym, they got blankets and food

But you won’t sleep easy, no you won’t sleep easy

It’s been a few days since I heard any word from you

No and I don’t sleep easy, no I don’t sleep easy

And the rain keeps comin', yeah the rain keeps comin'

And the rain keeps comin', yeah the rain keeps comin'

And nothin’s ever for certain 'til the levee breaks down

The water comes in and the river, the river takes the town

And the river takes the town

Yeah the river takes the town

The river takes the town

There’s a number you can call if your house get’s washed away

But it’ll never be the same, no it’ll never be the same

Since you held my hand and kissed me on the very first day

No I’ll never be the same, no I’ll never be the same

And the rain keeps comin' (never be the same), and the rain keeps comin' (never

be the same)

And the rain keeps comin' (I'll never be the same), and the rain keeps comin'

And the rain keeps comin' (I'll never be the same), and the rain keeps comin'

(never be the same)

And nothin’s ever for certain 'til the levee breaks down

The water comes in and the river, the river takes the town

The river takes the town

The river takes the town

The river takes the town
