Hard Luck High Water

作曲：Levi Stoker

作词：Levi Stoker

The river's got a hunger

And the clouds are turning black

I'm carrying the history of a mountain on my back

The crops are underwater

And the bank is at the gate

And the local preacher's telling me

I gotta have some faith

But my hands are turning calloused

And my boots are full of mud

I'm trading every sunset for a little bit of blood

There's a hole in the levee and a shadow in the sun

And a long list of battles that I haven't exactly won

Oh it's hard looking high water pulling at my heels

Turning all my spirit into rusted iron wheels

I'm a rock in the river

I'm a brain in the wood

Standing right exactly where their ancestors stood

Yeah the rain's gonna fall

And the devil's gonna rise

But hard luck and high water can't drown the pride

I see my reflection in a grease stained glass

Watching all the easy living city folks pass

They don't know the language of a shovel and a song

Or the weight of a survival that you have to go along

The whoop pile's low

And the wind is looking mean

I'm the only piece of engine that's still looking clean

Oh it's all looking high water pulling at my heels

Turning on my spirit and the rusted iron wheels

I'm a rock in the river

I'm a braid in the woods

Standing by your jacket where the ancestors stood

Yeah the rain's gonna fall and the devil's gonna rise

Hard luck and high water can't drown the pride

Keep it calm

Keep it calm I'm still standing

You can't wash away a man who's made of solid clay

I'll be right here breathing

At the break of the day

I'm looking high water

The world is getting hotter

I'm a resilient son and a daughter
