Levee

Rising right up the levee, ain’t no stopping it now

Rain coming heavy, and it’s gonna give out

Blowin’ hard up the river like it’s seven and ten

Shot for the shivers and we’ll do it again

Yeah we’ll do it again

Floodin’ up to the coffers of the company store

Take what they offer and we’ll head for the door

Risin’ right up the levee like it’s seven and ten

Rain hitting heavy and it’s gonna give in

Turn your collar up

Look it right in the eye

Like an empty cup

Or a train rolling by

It was all technicolor in the light of the day

Call on me, brother, ‘cause it’s coming your way

It was all for the taking, but you never believed

Swear it was waitin’, sittin’ right at your feet

Turn your collar up

Look it right in the eye

Like an empty cup

Or a train rolling by

Just consider this

For a minute or two

All the bitterness

When they pin it on you

Rising right up the levee, ain’t no stopping it now

Rain coming heavy and it’s going to give out

Yeah it’s gonna give out

It’s gonna give out
