David Berkeley - Song For the Road Lyrics

Well, the river's too full
But the land is too dry
When the floodwaters came
There was nowhere to hide

So I sing for the land,
For our fields washed away
They flooded the grave
Where my grandfather lay

It's a song for the road
Yeah I know it gets rough
Don't ever give in
Don't ever give up

I sing for the child
Who was watching the sky
When the twister roared in
Made the whole city fly

Took the roof from the church
Tore the roots from the ground
Yeah when the twister roared off
She had leveled our town

So sing a song for the road
Cause I know it gets rough
Don't ever give in
Don't ever give up

Come on back from the ledge
Come on in from the rain
Here's some things that won't hurt
Here's some things that won't change

Like the afternoon light
When the clouds break apart
Like the way that I feel
'bout the good in your heart

They can flatten a house
They can flood all we see
They can't take the soul
From my family and me

Sing a song for the road
I know it gets rough
Don't ever give in
Don't ever give up
Don't ever give in
Don't ever give up

Don't ever give in
Don't ever give up
