Rhythm of the Rain

Word passing through the radio static That this one was gonna be big Saying, get to packing and batten down the hatches Before she comes rollin' in But I was by you born and raised And I know something that they don't Yeah, nothin' sounds better than hurricane weather Mother Nature putting on a show Louisiana sky crying, Mississippi River rising Roof pounding out a backwoods Backbeat always gets me rocking to the rhythm of the rain Cyprus swinging, swamp saints singing Takes me to the front post from Rosie bare feet It's got me rocking to the rhythm of the rain, yeah (c'mon) This old Ponchatula cabin was passed from my daddy And down from his daddy before He said the canes keep coming so you stay strumming Through the hill and high water storms 'Cause it's a solemn summer symphony, that catastrophic choir When the wind is howling harmonies and the thunder's keepin' time Louisiana sky crying, Mississippi River rising Roof pounding out a backwoods Backbeat always gets me rocking to the rhythm of the rain Cyprus swinging, swamp saints singing Takes me to the front post from Rosie bare feet It's got me rocking to the rhythm of the rain, yeah The Creole god's gonna save us from the water creeping up Creole god's gonna save us, baptize us with the flood Said, the Creole god's gonna save us from the water creeping up Creole god's gonna save us, baptize us with the flood Louisiana sky crying, Mississippi River rising Roof pounding out a backwoods Backbeat always gets me rocking to the rhythm of the rain Cyprus swinging, swamp saints singing Takes me to the front post from Rosie bare feet It's got me rocking to the rhythm of the rain, yeah Rocking to the rhythm of the rain Come on Woo!
