From the recording Love, What Have You Done?
Lyrics
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 morning under dark and heavy skies
The levee broke this morning after days of pouring rain
The levee broke this morning after days of pouring rain
It washed away the highway
Wish it could’ve washed away my pain
It washed away the highway, so I'm moving on to higher ground
It washed away the highway, now I'm moving on to higher ground
But I'm knee-deep in the water, and the river's rising all around
The levee broke this morning after days of driving rain
The levee broke this morning after days of driving rain
It left nothing there behind it but it didn’t take away my pain
Didn’t take away my pain
