Kentucky Flood - Josh Rouse

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 pits and the falls that made up his life

Now he's inspired

Sits 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
