Lights on the Levee

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's not too many locals in the place where I'm working A poison jams love but they hold onto pretension They don't wanna go home [Verse 2] The ivory girl spent some time walking the levee I saw her there 'cause that is where I'm usually lookin' They wanna keep dry [Verse 3] When I look around, nothing's coming down When's the flood gonna take me out Could be to today, who cares anyway? We got all the world to run [Verse 4] Lucy Mae Maximus, baby, you wanna invade me But Jesus told me nothin' piss him off Like those who misquote him He wants to get straight [Verse 5] Some kids got excited and rode their bikes on the levee When the lights went out, I knew that they had drowned In the valley The river don't care [Verse 6] No one to guard the row Everyone stays alone He just fell out backwards from the overflow When I look around, nothing's coming down When will the water wash me out
