(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
