Lyrics

In a Flood

You thought you had it covered, but you don't The best you had to offer went up in smoke I heard from other people where you went Down the Mississippi in a flood Somewhere south of Santa Fe, it started sinking in The sweetness you were missing, you were wishing Would come back again was lost in the shuffle along the way Down the Mississippi in a flood Swallowed in a storm You had us worried all along Tying up the lines to the state police Covered all over in grease What was under the hood was alright You would have made it down the Mississippi in a flood
