Well the waters of Bristol were comin' up fast
Faster than they said it would
We all had to run, we had to get out fast
Faster than we thought we could

When the storm starts blowin', it don't care about your plans
It don't care what you think, it don't care where you stand
'Cause when the river is rising it's gonna take everything
Below the waterline

Well people are runnin' and people are fightin'
Some, they are just givin' up
People are kneelin', people are prayin'
Some are still countin' on luck

When the storm starts blowin', it don't care about your plans
It don't care what you think, it don't care where you stand
'Cause when the river is rising it's gonna take everything
Below the waterline

The city is sinking an inch at a time
No matter what they try
You better soak it up while you still can
Better go say "goodbye"

'Cause when the storm starts blowin' it don't care about your plans
It don't care what you think, it don't care where you stand
When the river is rising it's gonna take everything
Below the waterline
When the river is rising it's gonna take everything
Below the waterline
