Too Much Rain
I was driving east of Lafayette makin' my way back to Baton Rouge
It was a hard drivin' Louisiana rain that I found myself driving through
the windshield wipers were doin' their best but their best didn't help at all
I pulled under an overpass a I gave my wife a call and she said
Oooh oooh there's too much rain
it's startin' to look and startin' to feel like March all over again, she said
Ooooh ooooh there's too much rain
night is fallin' and the water's backin' up and it's shootin' up through the drains
These are the words you don't wanna hear when you're 25 miles from home
I drove back out into the darkness and turned the radio on
a news flash said that there wasn't any sign that the front was soon gonna pass
I had no choice I kept hearing her voice as I pushed down on the gas and she said
Oooh oooh there's too much rain
it's startin' to look and startin' to feel like March all over again, she said
Ooooh ooooh there's too much rain
night is fallin' and the water's backin' up and it's shootin' up through the drains
Morning brought the sunrise but it was hiding deep behind the clouds
they were pulling her car out from under a truck that floated and pinned her down
the trucker said there was nothing he could do that the current was just to strong
and by the time that the cajun navy got there she'd been under way too long
the last time we spoke the phone went dead and my gut just wrenched in pain
she told me that she was getting into the car and going to where it never rains
she cried oooh oooh there's too much rain
it's startin' to look and it's startin' to feel like March all over again
Oooh oooh there's too much rain
it's the second time this year we've had to start all over again and again and
Ooooh oooh there's too much rain
Theres's too much there's too much there's too much baby
oooh oooh there's too much rain
oooh oooh there's too much rain
