For forty days and forty nights the rain it did fall down
Workers came from miles away to a lonely coastal town
Man you gotta get out, the river it done rise
Grab your things don't try to fight, she'll cut you down to size
I don't want to leave my house and home
I just want to be left alone
I don't want to leave my house and home
I just wanna be left alone
All my life seventy years I've lived in this old place
Everything around me man, gone without a trace
Great God almighty I feel misunderstood
Walk a mile in my shoes, well I really wish you would
