After The Flood Lyrics - Singles - Lone Justice

My folks own the land round here 

And our big old house now for some fifty odd years 

We'd all seen a few rough days 

But I never dreamed I'd watch it all get swept away 

No one knows what causes angry rain 

The water rushed right through this town just like a great big train 

Years of hard work and memories 

Are floatin down big river on their way out to sea 

After the flood 

After the flood 

The land it washed away 

Felt like my flesh and blood 

I'd rather be shovelin' 

Through the slush and mud 

Than to leave my home where I grew up 

Life goes on after the flood 

The Clover Inn Bar was hit pretty hard 

The piano's lyin in the street broken apart 

My favorite old oak tree's rooted up 

But I'll plant myself a new one after the flood 

After the flood 

After the flood 

The land it washed away 

Felt like my flesh and blood 

I'd rather be shovelin' 

Through the slush and mud 

Than to leave my home where I grew up 

Life goes on after the flood 

A place to call your very own means so much 

Though it's a little soggy 

After all the water's gone 

I'll scrub it clean and make it home again 

A natural disaster can't hold nothin' on me 

Their quakin' out west and freezin' back east 

So I think I'll stick around 

And show a little faith in a weary town 

After the flood 

After the flood 

The land it washed away 

Felt like my flesh and blood 

I'd rather be shovelin' 

Through the slush and mud 

Than to leave my home where I grew up 

Life goes on after the flood 

After the flood 

After the flood 

The land it washed away 

Felt like my flesh and blood 

I'd rather be shovelin' 

Through the slush and mud 

Than to leave my home where I grew up 

Life goes on after the flood
