Lyrics
RED RIVER FLOOD
Verse
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
Chorus
Someday we will once again be dry
The water will return to the sky
Verse
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
Chorus
Someday we will once again be dry
The water will return to the sky
Verse
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
Chorus
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
