about

Written and recorded in Muscle Shoals, and imbues with the magic of the Singing River.

lyrics

It's coming a flood
I feel it in my bones
But I'm holding up
This dam with all my hopes

Just give me one more day
Before the rain
Honey, I'm not quite
Ready for the break
Had all the heart can take

You can't stop the storm from coming through
Can't stop the river as it rages
Why would you want to?
Not the Percy Priest or the Wilson Dam
Is gonna hold this in
One day the river will run free again

I lie awake at night
Staring at my phone
Trying not to think
Where I went wrong

Chasing after Truth
But sometimes I can't see
The truest thing
Is right in front of me

And the dam breaks free

You can't stop the storm from coming through
Can't stop the river as it rages
Why would you want to?
Not the Percy Priest or the Wilson Dam
Is gonna hold this in
One day the river will run free again

Run, river, run
You can't stop the flood

Not the Percy Priest or the Wilson Dam
Is gonna hold this in
One day the river will run free again
