Lyrics

Verse:
I'm knee-deep in the water,
And the river's on the rise...
I'm knee-deep in the water,
And the river's on the rise...
The levee broke this mornin',
Under dark and heavy skies...

The levee broke this mornin'
After days of pourin' rain...
The levee broke this mornin'
After days of pourin' rain...
Washed away the highway;
Wish it couldÃ?Â?ve washed away my pain...

Instrumental Break:

Verse:
Washed away the highway,
So I'm movin' on to higher ground...
Washed away the highway,
Now I'm movin' on to higher ground...
But I'm knee-deep in the water,
And the river's risin' all around...

The levee broke this mornin'
After days of drivin' rain...
The levee broke this mornin'
After days of drivin' rain...
It left nothing there behind it;
But it didn't take away my pain...
But it didn't take away my pain.
