Floodwater By Reckless Kelly Written By Chris Schleske E Me and my friends drove down to the riverside E With a half case of beer and a couple bottles of wine D A E And the rain started to fall D A D A E We tipped our bottles and the river overflowed Chorus: A D A D Floodwater, carry me away A D E Take my mind to another place A D A D Drown my sorrow, kill my fear A D B E Floodwater, take me far away from here Guitars ringin', hazy smoke filled room People swayin', two-step drunken fools And it looks like stormy weather Emptied my glass, and everything got better Chorus Far away from the deep blue Texas skies The Red River creature tried to steal away my mind But the way, the truth and the light Would not forsake the one for 99 Chorus
