Flood Took It All Away

Intro

(Ohhh) Water risin', risin' high

(Ohhh) Took my world, said goodbye

Verse

Poured down heavy from the sky

Turned the river to a beast

Swallowed up my front porch light

Dragged away the garden feast

Photos floatin' in the mud

Grandma's quilt all torn and frayed

Truck I fixed up with my blood

Gone under, nothin' left to save

Chorus

Flood took it all away

Flood took it all away

House and home, dreams in the clay

Flood took it all away

Yeah, flood took it all away

Left me standin' in the gray

Flood took it all away

Verse

Neighbors wadin' through the wreck

Cryin' out for what was lost

Kids' toys tangled in the debris

Cost us more than we can count

Fences smashed, fields all drowned

Livestock scattered far and wide

Memories buried underground

Nothin' dry where we once thrived

Chorus

Flood took it all away

Flood took it all away

House and home, dreams in the clay

Flood took it all away

Yeah, flood took it all away

Left me standin' in the gray

Flood took it all away

Flood took it all away

Bridge

But we'll rise up from this mud (rise up)

Rebuild stronger, hand in hand (hand in hand)

Water recedes, but we won't budge (won't budge)

Claim this ground again, understand

Chorus

Flood took it all away

Flood took it all away

House and home, dreams in the clay

Flood took it all away

Yeah, flood took it all away (took it all)

Left me standin' in the gray

Flood took it all away

Outro

(Ohhh) Water risin', risin' high

(Ohhh) But we'll make it, you and I

Flood took it all... away
