Texas Flood - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble

Stubborn little man Did a little hands on a worn out tire He's just like his dad Proud that he had it set aside Until that day Many came and took his life Ditzy campaign Til the rains washed away His beautiful plan His beautiful plan His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right Some folks just don't last that long And he won't be dead tonight So he got up Got in his truck and drove around A stroke of bad luck He figured as much It won't keep him down He found fame He lives in a place near Clearwater still Works on a boat Carries a load cause there's lots to feel There's lots to feel His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right Some folks just don't last that long And he won't be dead tonight A happy old man Did a little hands-on with his knife Sleeps in the coals The pits and the falls that made up his life Now he's inspired Sits by the fire, how his wisdom sings So much to learn Stories that burn all the joy they bring The joy they bring His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right Some folks just don't last that long And he won't be dead tonight

Rain, rain on my face Hasn't stopped raining for days My world is a flood Slowly I become one with the mud But if I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again Downpour on my soul Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control Dark sky all around Can't feel my feet touching the ground But if I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again Calm the storms that drench my eyes And dry the streams still flowing Casting down all waves of sin And guilt that overthrow me If I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again

Here comes the flood again Watch it fall from the sky Feel it soak through my flesh and my blood Feel it burn in my eyes When I say how much more can I take I know the water's rising up Watch the waves crest and break And though I may not make a sound I fear that I may drown I fear that I may drown Here comes the wind again Cold that cuts to the bone Pack my bags and I'll head out the door Here I am on my own When I say how much more can I stand? I know my walls are falling down I let the rocks who chose the sand And though I know one left to blame Still I cursed your name I cursed your name So now the end What I've been running from Though I've tried I cannot lift my head Oh, what have I become? When I say how much more can I take? I know my time is running short I am broken and I'm breaking Though I've worn myself so thin Coming home again And though I do not know my heart But I know myself into my bones But if my bones should come apart Then I'll have nothing left to give But if you take me in Coming home again And if you take me in Coming home again

Picture a man Seen like a speck out from this shore Swimming out beyond the breakers Like he's done his life before He feels a coming of the squall Will drag him out a greater length But knows his strength, and tries to gather it And he swims on Turning back to shore again Above the outer atmosphere Of a world he's never seen And looking down to his new home He feels the rising of a wave and knows at once He will not weather it Like that man I looked down into the depths when I met you I couldn't measure it Any time I'd struggled on Against the course, out on my own Every time, I'd burn through the world, I'd see That the world, it burns through me But when I'd let go (I'd let go) My struggling form (my struggling form) My willing soul (I'd see) Every time flow through the world (each time I'd) I'd see (flood through) That the world (the world) It flows through me (it flows through me) That the world, it flows through me Picture a grave Picture six feet freshly dug The sharp temporary walls At the long-term cliff edge of the world Light and air find some new deepness there And usher down the sky where One stands by and tries to make sense of it Try measure loss Measure the silence of a house The unheard footsteps at the doorway The unemployment of the mouth The waking up, having forgotten And remembering again the full extent Of what forever is With each grave I think of loss and I can only think of you I couldn't measure it Any time I've struggled on (I struggled on) Against the course (against the course) Out on my own (I'd see) Every time burn through the world (each time I'd) I'd see (flood through me) That the world (the world) It burns through me (burns through me) But when I, I'd let go (I'd let go) My struggling form (my struggling form) My willing soul (I'd see) Every time flow through the world (each time I'd) I'd see (flood through me) That the world (the world) It flows through me (it flows through me) That the world, it flows through me
