Did you hear about the flood up there in Nashville The Cumberland River rose is like a titan from its cage And all the country stars had to find another home Some are saying is the end of an age Some have said that it's the end of an age She said to me I think it's time to head south Visit my cousin Katrina down in Shreveport She's a pretty nice girl but she's got a pretty big mouth Never has been one to turn the other cheek Never has been able to turn the other cheek She talk to me all night long about what's wrong with her country And all her plans to fix the USA But not one time did she ask for my opinion Not that it really had very much to say Not that I really had anything to say That was the night that Nashville was burning And all weekend long there was a mad torrential rain The old-timer said "I've never seen a flood like this before And I hope to god I'll never see it again Yeah I hope I'll never see it again" Got a call from my uncle in East Memphis He's been making his living in the unemployment line He called to check up but I could tell he wanted more When he asked me I just said I'm doing fine When he asked me I just told him I'm doing fine He lost his job the summer before my freshman year It nearly did him in that very same week But he dusted himself off and scrounged around to find his pride I wish I was there to help him to his feet I wish someone was there to help him do his feet That was the night that Nashville was burning And all weekend long there was a mad torrential rain The old-timer said "I've never seen a flood like this before And I hope to god I'll never see it again Yeah I hope I'll never see it again" Don't worry about me I'm just stuck here at college A little place of Murfreesboro Road I don't know what I'll do with one degree or two I'm just praying tomorrow I'll be able to make it home I just pray one day that I'll be going home Did you hear about the flood up there in Nashville? The Cumberland River rose is like a titan from its cage And all the country stars had to find another home Some are saying is the end of an age Some have said that it's the end of an age
