Road May Flood / It’s a Heartache Songtext
von Ian Noe

This road may flood tonight
If I heard the weatherman right
I ain′t seen a cloud in sight
The whole damn day

There ain't a soul in this old coal town
It′s quiet on the courthouse grounds
Just empty cars with windows down
I guess it's on its way

May have to get myself a boat
A couple paddles and a good raincoat
Dig myself out of the deepest moat
Keep it all at bay


And last time it rained, I didn't sleep for weeks
Worryin′ on those risin′ creeks
Gravel bars and busted beach
And mountains made of slate

Guess you could say it's been a haunted life
I used to have a Christian wife
And I lost her like a pocket knife
Slidin′ down the bank

But you know, this road's been a pretty good friend
I′ve drove it every night since then
I run her 'round every bend
Never sure if I′m awake

And it's a heartache
Nothin' but a heartache
Hits you when it′s too late
Hits you when you′re down


It's a fool′s game
Nothin' but a fool′s game
Standin' in this cold rain
Dancin′ like a clown
