Reckless Kelly - Floodwater lyrics

(Chris Schelske)

Me and my friends drove down to the riverside

With a half case of beer and a couple bottles of wine

And the rain started to fall

We tipped our bottles and the river overflowed.

Floodwater, carry me away

Take my mind to another place

Drown my sorrow, kill my fear

Floodwater, take me far away from here.

Guitars ringin', hazy smoke filled room

People swayin', two-step drunken fools

And it looks like stormy weather

Emptied my glass, and everything got better.

Floodwater, carry me away

Send my mind to another place

Drown my sorrow, kill my fear

Floodwater, take me far away from here.

Far away from the deep blue Texas skies

The Red River creature tried to steal away my mind

But the way, the truth and the light

Would not forsake the one for '99.

Floodwater, carry me away

Send my mind to another place

Drown my sorrow, kill my fear

Floodwater, take me far away from here...
