Lyrics The Derek Trucks Band

The Derek Trucks Band

Down In The Flood

Crash on the levee, mama

Water's gonna overflow

Swamps gonna rise

And no boats gonna row

You can train on down

To Williams Point

You can bust your feet

You can rock this joint

But oh mama, you gonna miss your best friend now?

You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow

Now, don't you try and move me

Mama you're just gonna lose

There's been a crash on the levee

And mama, you've been refused

Well, it's king for king

Queen for queen

It's gonna be the meanest flood

That anybody's ever seen

Oh mama, you gonna miss your best friend now?

You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow

Well, that high tides risin'

Mama, don't you let me down

Pack up your suitcase

Mama, don't you make a sound

Well, it's sugar for sugar

And it's salt for salt

If you go down in the flood

It's gonna be your own fault

Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?

You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow
