lyrics

Forty years and forty nights
I've been searching for some light
In and empty town for empty people
Five bars for five steeples
We all got our own way here how to prove
Water is no thicker than our own blood
But ain't nothing been dry here since the '67 flood

They say Judgment Day will be hotter than Hell
And if it floods and you don't float grab a hold of your Bible
But who'd want to watch their watermark from the top of some hill
I don't want to know what keeps me still
Living in Leveeville

Have you ever heard the sound
Of the Sheriff's boots on the ground
A dirty nail pounding on your chest
Or a squeaky shield shined with breath
A little cash lifted out of your precious wallet
And the wind knocked out of you just for good measure
And these simple words: "Son, you're just having twice the fun with half the pleasure."

I've found plenty of ways around
Shoes filled with doubt
Through breaking rocks and breaking noses
And blowing kisses at frozen roses
Ain't no one ever gone find out how I get my fill
Just a backwards life from a backwoods copper still
I can still hear the Preacher say, "Read Proverbs 25:28."
"Sorry, son, but you may be too late."
