Josh Rouse - Kentucky Flood lyrics

Stubborn little man
Did a little hands on a worn out tire
He's just like his dad
Proud that he had it set aside
Until that day many came and took his life
Ditzy campaign til the rains washed away
His beautiful plan his beautiful plan
His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He ain't gonna wait for
The water what's right
Some folks just don't last that long
And he won't be dead tonight

So he got up
Got in his truck and drove around
A stroke of bad luck he figured as much
It won't keep him down he found fame
He lives in a place near Clearwater still
Works on a boat
Carries a load cause there's lots to feel
There's lots to feel

His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He ain't gonna wait for
The water what's right
Some folks just don't last that long
And he won't be dead tonight

A happy old man
Did a little hands-on with his knife
Sleeps in the coals
The pit's and the falls that made up his life
Now he's inspired
Sit's by the fire, how his wisdom sings
So much to learn
Stories that burn all the joy they bring
The joy they bring

His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He ain't gonna wait for
The water what's right
His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He ain't gonna wait for
The water what's right
Some folks just don't last that long
And he won't be dead tonight
