This years gonna be the year that the river floods
This years gonna be the year that the river floods
theres gonna be nothing left of this town but a big pile of mud
coz this years gonna be the year that the river floods
There goes Daisy-Mae, she lives around the way
I saw her at the pond one day
she didn't have one nice word to say
There goes old man brown
He's always got that nasty frown
I know he thinks that I'm a clown
I wont be sorry to see him go down
There's big mean sheriff John
6 foot 7 and he's tall and blonde
Gave me a ticket I was calm
But I'll jump for joy on the day he's gone
At the general store theres Norma Jean
I loved her since I was 14
But she loves a trucker from New Orleans
And she over charged me for my pork & beans
But this years gonna be the year that the river floods
theres gonna be nothing left of this town but a big pile of mud
coz this years gonna be the year that the river floods
Up there on cherry drive, thats my old junior high
For 4 years not a day went by
When i didn't wish that i could die
Over by them telephone wires
Thats junk yard Jimmy's parts & tires
Worked there 10 years since I was hired
I was late one day and jimmy said "Your fired"
I've lived here from the day I was born
I've got nothing but bad luck & scorn
My flower patch is fulla thorns
Kids break my window, Deer eat my corn
I saw my folks get old and die
I been flat broke and my well is dry
But I see a cloud up in the sky
And i know those waters are gonna rise
coz this years gonna be the year that the river floods
theres gonna be nothing left of this town but a big pile of mud
coz this years gonna be the year that the river floods
What did momma say to me?
Do not go wishing people misery
But the river's been fighting the levee I think since time did begin
And i'm just thinking this might be the year that the river wins
Cos when the storm comes like I know it will
That rusty river's gonna overfill
Come roarin' like a tiger over Blueberry hill
wash the bridge alfway to nelsonville
The muddy water's gonna be so deep
You'll just be able to see that tall churc steeple
And that'll only pop up after a week
And you'll never find half of those nasty people
Cows and pigs and tomatoes
Mail boxes and telephone poles
I'll see you all when it overflows
We'll all be together whaen the water flows
Rolling like a big brown rolling pin
Rolling over all the troubles that have been
Rolling like te ocean tide rolling in
I just can't wait for te rain to begin
coz this years gonna be the year that the river floods
theres gonna be nothing left of this town but a big pile of mud
coz this years gonna be the year that the river floods _________________

It's a great song but I think when I saw jeff play it live was when it really stood out for me, it had such sentiment _________________
