Red River Flood

Lyrics

RED RIVER FLOOD (Mike Borok, Paul Shaheen)

Red River, God knows we were not prepared
Even though we know the wind and snow
The small town where I was born has disappeared
And I've got nowhere to go

Someday we will once again be dry
The water will return to the sky

There's a Red Cross tent with canned food and blankets
There's a river where a playground used to be
On a rooftop someone has painted
"Mom I'm OK," hoping she'll see

Someday we will once again be dry
The water will return to the sky

When the President flies home,
the cameras go with him
And we're still standing in the rain
First we shake our fists and curse at Heaven
Then we bow our heads and pray

Someday we will once again be dry
The water will return to the sky
Someday we will once again be dry
The water will return to the sky
