Peachtree - When the Levee Breaks Down

It's been raining for three days
Southern town hopes and prays
For the sky to stop its cryin'
No more rain, thunder, and lightning
Didn't know what to do
Kept ringing, trying to get to you
When the walls come down
Nothing's gonna be found

When the levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks down

Got walls made of concrete
As far down the coast as you can see
But if it keeps on raining
Won't have a place that I can stay in
And the interstate's jammed
With the selfish and the damned
When the walls come down
Whole city's gonna drown

When the levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks down

Coming down from the heavens
Mother earth teaching lessons
The longest shadow is getting cast
The hand of God striking down fast

At dawn, the sky's burning red
Take warning, my father said
No birds singing in the trees
To wake me from my sleep
By now it may be too late
Whole town sealed its fate
When the walls come down
Whole city's gonna drown

When the levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks down, down, down
The levee breaks, the levee breaks

The levee breaks down
The levee breaks down
The levee breaks down
The levee breaks down
