Washed Away

Sarah's been dancin' down at the palace And Old men been makin' it rain with their Old money She's shakin' about the only milk and honey left In this shallow town In this shallow town I said hey I said hey I said hey, in this shallow town Sarah's spinnin' dreams she knows she can't sew She sticks a twenty and some hope in a jar behind her stove She knows breaks are hard to catch man Sarah strikes a match then Lights up her days last stick of death Prayin' that a hard rain's gonna fall And God will wash us all away Quicker than a New York minute and watch us drown In this shallow town In this shallow grave I said hey I said hey In this shall la la la low town In this shallow grave Sarah doesn't pay too much attention To the words of the wives of the old men she's been dancin' But whisper's turn to shouts in this size of town In this size of shallow town When the Spring rains Sarah prays For God to give the levee hell The Mississippi gives and takes away When her waters swell It's a muddy grave When her waters swell It's a muddy grave I said hey I said hey It's a shall la la la low town It's a muddy grave Oh, and when the Spring rains Sarah prays For God to give the levee hell The Mississippi gives and takes away When her waters swell It's a muddy grave When her waters swell It's a muddy grave I said hey I said hey It's a shall la la la low town It's a muddy grave I said hey I said hey It's a shall la la la low town It's a muddy grave
