about

The assignment this week comes from Doug:
"Write a song that in some way recognizes the Louisiana flooding. Bonus points if you write a song from the point of view of a character, real or imagined, that has experienced the flooding first-hand."

lyrics

How many times have we watched the waters rising
How many ways have we said, it's gonna break
And in the backs of our minds we think, what difference does it make

You can't outrun the river
There ain't no way you'll ever believe her again
You can't outrun the river
That's the price you'll pay to be delivered, my friend

When the world spins so fast, it's paralyzing
And the days weave & drag in our minds
We all know it won't last until the end of time

You can't outrun the river
There ain't no way you'll ever believe her again
You can't outrun the river
That's the price you'll pay to be delivered, my friend

You can't outrun the river
You can't outrun the river
You can't outrun the river
