about

Written on the back of an envelope as I drove to higher ground in a huge rain storm in Santa Cruz CA. When it rains, it pours!

lyrics

There ain't no way to stop the water
So get your son and get your daughter
Get in the old rowboat, we're going to town
The old dam broke first thing this morning
With the rain and without warning
The cows and sheep are swimming in the field

A paddle for you and a paddle for me
Watch out for that old dead
The neighbors dog is trying to climb on board
Pull him in, if we sink, we'll swim
Either way, don't spill the gin
We're gonna need a drink later on

Its been over a hundred years since the waters came
And lookin round here you know it'll never be the same
But I love you and you love me, together we'll sing in harmony
Maybe gettin old ain't so bad

So open the door, turn down the lights
We're gonna have a hoedown tonight
Don't forget to wear your dancing shoes
Corn on the cob, chicken in the fry, grandma Betsy's apple
Gonna dance and sing until the morning light

Everythings broken and I know I'm gettin old
And where we'll get the money honey,
I just don't know
But I love you and you love me, together we'll sing in harmony
Maybe gettin old ain't so bad
