(Hole In My) Levee Wall

by K. Brown

One more drop of rain
One more drop that's all
You can sure enough bet
be a hole in my levee wall

I came in to work last Monday
after spendin most of the day drinking on Sunday
The boss called me in
said theres been a change of plans
I got to let you go
it's not you
your a good man you know
just a case of unforeseen shifting
supply and demand

I got a mortgage and no cash float
for a car and boat
bank note
And I'm sure my wifes,
hair and nails
just won't understand

One more drop of rain
One more drop that's all
You can sure enough bet
be a hole in my levee wall

I'm down here on my knees
and I been prayin'
Lord could you spare me
some relief
I'm just sayin
I'm doin' what I can
to get my feet up on dry land
but the water's risin' faster than I am

One more drop of rain
One more drop that's all
You can sure enough bet
be a hole in my levee wall

There's days you want to think
you could be winnin'
with  a shot of some belief
I'd keep from sinkin'
I'm doin' all I can
To get my feet up on dry land
tryin' to plant my boot heels in the sand/the waters risin faster than I am

One more drop of rain
One more drop that's all
You can sure enough bet
be a hole in my levee wall

One more drop of rain
One more drop that's all
Got a thumb holdin' back a flood
in that levee wall

Come n' Go Katie

(K Brown)

You and I can't say
We were good for one another
Just sort of last call kind of lovers
The kind that'll help you through the night
And in the morning when the whiskey breath
is just a little stronger
we hit the bottle one more time
just a little longer

Come n Go Katie
Come n Go Katie
Come n Go Katie
would you come n go with me

Is that all that there is?
Please don't tell me or I'll lose it
It all just gets to lonesome to bear
As you're slippin' into last nights clothes
and slippin' off to somewhere
Leavin' me just sittin' here
and contemplating "nowhere"

Come n Go Katie
Come n Go Katie
Come n Go Katie
hit the bottle one more time with me

I couldn't tell you why
the sky's all full of rain
but I could tell you how a whiskey bottle
helps to ease the pain
And I couldn't say for certain
How a love could go so wrong
but I been thinkin' on it every day
til the  bottles gone

Come n Go Katie
Come n Go Katie
Come n Go Katie
hit the bottle one more time with me

You and I can't say
we were good for one another ...
