Knee Deep and Rising

I'm knee deep in the water, and the river's on the rise I'm knee deep in the water, and the river's on the rise The levee broke this morning under dark and heavy skies The levee broke this morning after days of pouring rain The levee broke this morning after days of pouring rain It washed away the highway Wish it could've washed away my pain It washed away the highway, so I'm moving on to higher ground It washed away the highway, now I'm moving on to higher ground But I'm knee-deep in the water, and the river's rising all around The levee broke this morning after days of driving rain The levee broke this morning after days of driving rain It left nothing there behind it but it didn't take away my pain Didn't take away my pain
