Dry Creek Rising

I was sound asleep when the water did come
And the clouds broke open like a big bass drum
Well, my little tin roof made a rumbling sound
And I looked out the window, Lord, we’re gonna drown
Dry Creek a-risin'
Never seen it before
Dry Creek a-risin'
Gonna grab the children
Kick out the door
Head for high ground
And pray to the Lord
The horses in the pasture ain’t too good
Up to their withers in thick red mud
Headed down stream toward the reservoir
But with that barbed fence, they won’t make it that far
Dry Creek a-risin'
That wasn’t in the cards
Dry Creek a-risin'
Well, you make your plans
Work real hard
But that Devil lives
In your own back yard
There’s an old red pickup and it’s upside down
And a propane tank from clear ‘cross town
What’s yours is mine, what’s mine is yours
But there ain’t much left worth nothin' no more.
Dry Creek a-risin'
You’d best open your eyes
Dry Creek a-risin'
I’ll tell you no lies
Dry Creek a-risin'
Take you by surprise
Dry Creek a-risin'
May come from the ground
May come from the sky
Don’t hold too tight
You’re gonna kiss it goodbye
