Someone You Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The levee's gonna break, the water's so high
And they're tryin' to make me move
It's been rainin' 6 days and 14 nights
I got way too much to lose
I built this house with my daddy's hands
My first boy was born inside
I promised my momma I would be a man
I ain't leavin' here tonight
City's on fire
Under water
Mothers and fathers
Sons and daughters
I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go
I am someone you know
Hey listen now
Dirty ass water, water everywhere
And not a drop to drink
I went to cast my vote but the poll was closed
And then the city just started to sink
I wonder if they'll find us in a thousand years
And say who let this go down
The river rose up on a trillion tears
And washed the poor folks out of town
City's on fire
Under water
Mothers and fathers
Sons and daughters
I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go
I am someone
I reached out my hand
But you did not notice
It's ok, I understand
Lord knows these times are hard
Just know that I am here
If you need assurance
I have made my choice
And the Lord will hear my voice
I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go
I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
Spending all my money on the president's war
Freedom isn't free
Especially when you're broke
Take me by the hand
I can't take it no more
Trying to get a job
There ain't no jobs around
Trying to feed my family
On this change I found
There's the Govorner's house
Looks so good on the hill
You got to stand in line
Got to get your fill
Swear I heard one man, one vote
Sure as hell ain't all she wrote
I got bills and they're all late
I'm still waitin' on the state
Ooh
I am someone you know
