The Levee

So he drives a cadillac baby

His belt buckles diamond-plated

He treats you like a lady, yes he does and

Tells you you are underrated

Feels like nothing could go wrong

When the levee blo - ows, and the tears flow on down your face

Will it feel the same, I don't know

When the curtains clo - ose, and you stand in awe alone

Will your pretty eyes still show,

That you've played this game before

So he went to Harvard

Builds schools down to Guatemala

Spends every Tuesday night with his mama, yes he does and

Look I get it, the man's a six-five, blue eyed, American Dalai Lama

I just want you to be careful 'cause,

When the levee blo - ows, and the tears flow on down your face

Will it feel the same, I don't know

When the curtains clo - ose, and you stand in awe alone

Will your pretty eyes still show,

That you've played this game before

There's always rocks in the streams,

there's always a stem in your grass,

there's always a snag at the seam,

well theres always a ghost in your past,

you might think that you can hide,

you might think that you can cope,

you might bottle it up inside but

ooooooooh sugar don't because

When the levee blo - ows, and the tears flow on down your face

Will it feel the same, I don't know

When the curtains clo - ose, and you stand in awe alone

Will your pretty eyes still show,

That you've played this game before

When the levee blows......

When the levee blows......
