LITTLE ANNIE VICKERS IS BOARDING UP WINDOWS
HER OLD DOG IS STRANDED ON THE SILOS
HEY THERE ANNIE, DON'T EVEN THINK IT
SO MUCH WATER AND YOU CAN'T EVEN DRINK IT
MAYBE BY CHRISTMAS TEY'LL DIG UP THE ROADS
TAKE WHATEVER YOU CAN GIRL
LEAVE THE REST FOR THE CROWS
LEAVE THE REST FOR THE CROWS
BEEN LIVIN' IN CRAWFORD FOR FIFTEEN YEARS
NOTHIN' MUCH EVER HAPPENS 'ROUND HERE
AND NO ONE BELIEVED THE WATER WOULD COME
TIL THE SKY GREW BLACK AND SWALLOWED THE SUN
AND IT RAINED FOR FORTY-TWO NIGHTS AND FORTY-TWO DAYS
AND EVERYTHING WE LOVE IS FLOATIN' AWAY
HOW LONG TIL OUR DREAMS RUN DRY
DON'T KNOW BUT WE'RE STAYIN'
ON OUR KNEES WE RAISE OUR EYES
HOLDIN' ON AND PRAYIN' TO FIND
ONE BLUE SKY
MRS. WILSON SITS WITH THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR
BIG CITY BOY, SHE NEVER DID TRUST 'EM
HAVE YOU BEEN GETTIN' THE LETTERS I'M SENDIN'
CAUSE THE PREACHER SWEARS THAT THE WORLD IS ENDING
IF THERE'S A WAY OUT, WISH SOMEONE WOULD SHOW UP
WE KEEP LOOKING ARUND FOR SOME MODERN DAY MOSES
WE'RE DIGGIN' OUR HEELS IN HARD AS WE CAN
BUT THE BACKYARD LOOKS LIKE THE RIO GRANDE
WOND
