Hillbilly Wayne - When the Water's Down Lyrics

WELL, WE ALL WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER BANK
THE MISSISSIPPI SURE WAS LOW
A KILLER DROUGHT WAS BURNING US OUT
AND THINGS WERE STARTING TO SHOW
BUT SOMETHINGS SHOULD STAY BURIEDLOST AND NEVER FOUND
LIKE THE NEAR FORGOTTEN SECRETS
OF A GUILTY SOUTHERN TOWN

THERE WAS A RUSTED TWO TONE CHEVY
BULLET HOLES IN THE REAR VIEW GLASS
AND A MAN STANDING ON THE LEVY
SEEING A NIGHTMARE FROM HIS PAST
THERE WAS A GOLDEN WEDDING RING
THAT BROUGHT A WOMAN STRAIGHT TO TEARS
ONCE ON THE HAND OF A HANDSOME MAN SHE HADN'T SEEN IN YEARS
CHORUS:
AND THEY WERE PRAYING FOR RAIN
EVERYBODY WAS PRAYING FOR RAIN
WE WERE STANDING ON SHAKY GROUND
CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SHOWS UP
WHEN THE WATER'S DOWN

THERE'S A WEALTHY LOCAL BANKER
LOOKING FOR A STOLEN MONEY BAG
THAT HE'D WEIGHTED DOWN WITH ROCKS SO HE WOULD NEVER GET IT BACK
AND THE PREACHER STOOD LIKE A STATUE, WIDE-EYED AND SCARED TO DEATH
WHAT HE HAD IN THAT MUDDY WATER WAS ANYBODY'S GUESS
REPEAT CHORUS
AND AN OLD MAN STANDING NEXT TO ME
STARTED LAUGHING RIGHT OUT LOUD
HE SAID SON YOU LEARN THE DAMNEDEST THINKS
IN THE MIDDLE OF A DROUGHT
