Hope the levee in Shreveport does what it's supposed to do
Cause the rain keeps coming
Yea the rain keeps coming
I must have called you 99 times but I couldn't get through
Yea the rain keeps coming
Yea the rain keeps coming
When the rain keeps coming
Yea the rain keeps coming
Nothing's ever for certain, until 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
No you won't sleep easy
There's been a few days since I heard any word from you
No and I don't sleep easy
Well I don't sleep easy
And the rain keeps coming
Yea the rain keeps coming
Yea the rain keeps coming
Yea and the rain keeps coming
And nothing's ever for certain until the levee breaks down
The water comes in and the river
The river takes the town
The river takes the town
Yea the river takes the town
The river takes the town
Well there's a number you call when your house gets washed away
But it'll never be the same
No 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 coming (never be the same)
Yea the rain keeps coming (never be the same)
And the rain keeps coming (I'll never be the same)
And the rain keeps coming
Yea and the rain keeps coming (I'll never be the same)
And the rain keeps coming (never be the same)
Nothing's ever for certain until the levee breaks down
The water comes in and the river
The river takes the town
The river takes the town
The river takes the town (the town)
The river takes the town (the town)
