I hope the levee in Shreveport does what it's s'posed to do Cuz the rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin' I must've called you 99 times but I couldn't get through And the rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin' The rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin' Nothin's ever for certain 'Til the levee breaks down The water comes in and the river The river takes the town There's a shelter at the high school gym they got blankets and food But you won't sleep easy, you won't sleep easy Its been a few days since I heard any word from you And I don't sleep easy, I don't sleep easy And the rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin' The rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin' Nothin's ever for certain 'Til the levee breaks down The water comes in and the river The river takes the town There's a number you can call if your house get's washed away But it'll never be the same, it'll never be the same Since you held my hand and kissed me on the very first day No I'll never be the same, no I'll never be the same And the rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin' The rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin' Nothin's ever for certain 'Til the levee breaks down The water comes in and the river The river takes the town
