Stormwater

Bad days are coming

Preacher said

Dark clouds dawning

Trouble up ahead

Board up you window

Take your families

Put gas in the pickup

Get out of New Orleans

U.S. Highway 61

Don't look back now

Drive until you're gone

Oh, stormwater

Driving me from my home

Flee

Across the state line

Far from everything I know

Oh. stormwater

Rising with the hurricane

When you're gone

From where I belong

I will be back again

No time for thinking

No time to waste

It's time enough for leaving

None to hesitate

Some folks saying

The weather man's wrong

Taking their chances

But me, I'm gonna run

All my senses are telling me

Something's coming I don't wanna see

Oh, stormwater

I know that you're gonna come

High

Over the levee

Blocking out the sky and sun

Oh. stormwater

Sweeping us all aside

Nature's angry with the city

Only God knows why

Take U.S. Highway 61

Don't look back now

Drive until you're gone

Oh, stormwater

Driving me from my home

Flee

Across the state line

Far from everything I know

Oh. stormwater

Rising with the hurricane

Nature's angry with the city

God knows why

You'll be gone

From where I belong

I will be back some time
