Well I'm the one whose always built it up With logs and wooden jams Heavy branches to hold Your waters back In barricaded strands But I am like a floodplain That meanders across Your land Well I ain't no levee And I ain't no dam And I can't hold Your waters back Man, I'm tired of this same old heart Rocky dirt and stone And heavy boulders laying on my mind And I feel them where I go Yes I am made of soil Made of clay, and silt, and sand Well I ain't no levee And I ain't no dam And I can't hold Your waters back Cause I am made of soil Made of clay, and silt, and sand Well I ain't no levee And I ain't no dam I can't hold Your waters back
