Kentucky Flood

This ole holler used to be my home

And under that water is everything I own

There was a hardwood floor, used to let me know

That my wife and daughter were safe at home

Now this lake in the middle of nowhere

Says there ain't none of that no more

And this storm blowing in from the south's

Got no shame coming to rob the poor

I was hoping I could sit here a moment

Maybe say my goodbyes

Here comes the rain

Ain't nothing sane in this life

My closest friend's been gone for days

I called out for him, I went down to his place

Twenty-nine souls still cannot be found

That search patrol don't stop when the sun goes down

This ole lake in the middle of nowhere

Says they ain't coming back no more

And that storm blowing up from the south's

Got no shame, coming to rob the poor

I was hoping I could sit here a moment

Have myself one last cry

Here comes the rain

Ain't nothing sane in this life

Well this ain't no River of Jordan

Carrying the lost sons home

It's that muddy river Kentucky

Sent to strip us to the bone

And I know it ain't my place to question

But sometimes I ask the good Lord why

There's so much pain

Ain't nothing sane

Here comes the rain

Ain't nothing sane in this life
