In a Flood

You thought you had it covered, but you don't
The past you had to offer went up in smoke
I heard from other people where you went
Down the Mississippi in a flood

Somewhere south of Santa Fe, it started sinking in
The sweetness you were missing, you were wishing would come back again
It was lost in the shuffle along the way
Down the Mississippi in a flood

Swallowed in a storm
You had us worried all along

Tying up the lines to the state police
Covered all over in grease
What was under the hood was alright
You would have made it down the Mississippi in a flood
