After The Flood

From the album Halfway Home

Noah was a reluctant sailor
Riding the waves on a 
Floating FEMA trailer
When the sun comes up
On a world of mud
You find out who your friends are 
After the flood

And you shake your head, watch it on TV
Sittin’ high and dry
Couldn’t happen to me
Where the storm comes from
Could surprise you some
You find out who your friends are
After the flood

And you think you’re strong
You’re not strong enough
And you think you’re tough

And the doctor said
We’re gonna need more tests
Then you feel your heart freeze
Deep in your chest
And the cold fear runs
Through your bones and blood
You find out who your friends are
After the flood

And you think you’re strong
You’re not strong enough
And you think you’re tough
