Going with the Flow
Mama told me boy you gotta hurry home
the water is a risin' and it's covered up the lawn
that was a day ago and a day ago is gone
now it's on the porch but there's a party goin' on
Skeeter's on his rooftop a fish'n from his chair
Bar-B-Q's a smokin' and he's tapped a keg of beer
he yelled, whatcha doin' later y'all come on over here
I got a float'n fridgerator with a ton of food in there
The rain can keep on fallin' the wind can howl and blow
Down here in Louisiana we're just goin' with the flow
it hurts like hell to lose everything you ever owned
down here in Louisiana we're just goin' with the flow
We're blastin' Charlie Daniels and some David Alan Coe
We're fishin' in a river where a river never flows
Skeeter's little Jody is a puttin' on a show
What is I can't say but she's goin' with the flow
Yonder's Tommy Landreau with his fiddle and his bow
Mama pulled her harp out and you should hear her blow
Schneider's in his RV as it's floatin' down there road
Down here in Louisiana he's just goin' with the flow
It's the worst we've ever seen but you'll never see us quit
we bow our heads in prayer while nature throws a fit
you could call us crazy or you could call it grit
Down here in Louisiana we don't give a rotten shit!!!
