washed by the water
Singer:will hoge
well they knew that it would go. been talking about it
since before my daddy's born. ain't nobody listens to what a poor man has to say. but down here we're washed by the water
the water can't wash us away. now i hear people talkin'
say i should have up and gone. but i ain't got nothing but this place
to call my home. my father and his father
stay until their dying days
down here we're washed by the water
the water can't wash us away. down here we're washed by the water
the water can't wash us away. we'll put it back together
with our own two hands. ain't nobody gonna turn us around. it's oddly a little empty
and it all seems broken down. oh lord we sure could use you now. then the president came down
and said this is awful sad. but ain't no words from that man
gonna bring us nothing back
and in the ghost of church bells
down here we're washed by the water
the water can't wash us away. down here we're washed by the water
the water can't wash us away. been washed by the water
the water can't wash us away
the water can't wash us away
the water can't wash us away
the water can't wash us away
the water can't wash us away
the water can't wash us away
