[Verse 1]
Let me tell you now, in my hometown
There’s a thousand ways you can drown
Nowhere to go, nothing to gain
Nothing but the sound of the pouring rain
[Chorus]
Last night, the levee broke, sky fell down, that’s no joke
Sun came up, all I could see was a river of mud and a whiskey tree
Woah, lonesome me
A river of mud and a whiskey tree
Woah, lonesome me
[Verse 2]
House to house and door to door
Bigger than the flood of '74
Ran to the roof, slipping on the floor
Never seen it rain like this before
[Chorus]
Last night, the levee broke, sky fell down, that’s no joke
Sun came up, all I could see was a river of mud and a whiskey tree
Woah, lonesome me
A river of mud and a whiskey tree
Woah, lonesome me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Last night, the levee broke, sky fell down, that’s no joke
Sun came up, all I could see was a river of mud and a whiskey tree
Woah, lonesome me
A river of mud and a whiskey tree
Woah, lonesome me
Woah, lonesome me
A river of mud and a whiskey tree
Woah, lonesome me
