Floodwater
Riverside Revelry: A Journey Through Storms and Spirits
Lyrics
Me and my friends drove down to the riverside
Me and my friends went to the riverside for a gathering.
With a half case of beer and a couple bottles of wine
We brought beer and wine to the riverside.
And the rain started to fall
Rain started falling at the riverside.
We tipped our bottles and the river overflowed.
We raised our bottles, and the river overflowed, possibly symbolizing the intensity of the moment.
Floodwater, carry me away
Expressing a desire to be carried away by floodwater.
Take my mind to another place
Wanting the floodwater to transport the mind to a different, perhaps better, place.
Drown my sorrow, kill my fear
Asking the floodwater to help forget sorrows and eliminate fears.
Floodwater, take me far away from here.
Desiring floodwater to take the person far away from the current situation.
Guitars ringin', hazy smoke filled room
Describing a scene with guitars playing in a smoky room and people dancing drunkenly.
People swayin', two-step drunken fools
Depicting a lively atmosphere with people engaged in a two-step dance.
And it looks like stormy weather
Noting the possibility of stormy weather.
Emptied my glass, and everything got better.
After emptying the glass, everything seems to improve.
Floodwater, carry me away
Reiterating the desire to be carried away by floodwater.
Send my mind to another place
Wishing for the mind to be sent to another, possibly more pleasant, place.
Drown my sorrow, kill my fear
Asking for sorrows to be drowned and fears to be eliminated.
Floodwater, take me far away from here.
Expressing the longing to be taken far away from the current location.
Far away from the deep blue Texas skies
Expressing a desire to be far away from the usual Texas environment.
The Red River creature tried to steal away my mind
Mentioning a creature from the Red River trying to influence the mind negatively.
But the way, the truth and the light
Believing in the values of the way, the truth, and the light.
Would not forsake the one for '99.
Remaining steadfast and not forsaking principles for a temporary experience.
Floodwater, carry me away
Reiterating the desire to be carried away by floodwater.
Send my mind to another place
Repeating the wish to have the mind sent to another place.
Drown my sorrow, kill my fear
Reiterating the request to drown sorrows and eliminate fears.
Floodwater, take me far away from here
Expressing the longing to be taken far away from the current situation.
