David A. Bell - The Roads Became Rivers Lyrics

Well, the roads became rivers
When I woke up today
And when I walk outside, I shiver
I'll just stay inside today
And I thought I saw a flivver
Trying to leave it's driveway
When the roads became rivers
After I woke up today

Oh, the roads became rivers
As I felt that aching pain
Element's not a forgiver
From all that stinging rain
And I don't see a sliver
Of life, I'm goin' insane
When the roads became rivers
As I felt that aching pain

It got to the point
When I couldn't see the ground
So I made a raft and went on my way
And when I tried to pinpoint
An unflooded town
There was none, so I guess I'll have to stay

Oh, the river kept on rising
As the rain fell on down
And increase of the lake's sizing
With nobody to be found
It's as if God's sanitizing
The human race as we drown
And when the ocean started rising
The rain kept falling down

Now, it's far past the point
When I can't see the ground
I'm on my raft, still going on my way
I'm still trying to pinpoint
That unflooded town
But there ain't none, so I guess I'll have to stay

Now, it's a world of water
As I look around today
And me without a daughter
I'm just trying to stay
Trying not to face the slaughter
But I'd best be on my way
Oh, the roads became rivers of water
When I woke up today
