Levees of the Heartland

Woke this mornin feeling grand
Had my rider and my mojo hand
She gave me things that I desire
She set the levees of my heart of fire

Fetch a pail of mountain water
Get it cool, clean, from the fisherman's daughter
Dive into her country pool now
Drink it up until you're feeling full now

The levees of the heartland always hold
Maybe once in a lifetime they fold
Waters rise at the right time and overflow
Tears light up the dry land in your soul
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Went to bed feeling mean
Drifted to a dreadful dream
I know how it feels to drown
When I saw the levees of my heart bow down
You know I did

The levees of the heartland always hold
Maybe once in a lifetime they fold
Waters rise at the right time and overflow
Tears light up the dry land in your soul
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Woke this mornin feeling grand
Had my rider and my mojo hand
She gave me things that I desire
She set the levees of my heart on fire
She set the levees of my heart on fire
She set the levees of my heart on fire
She set the levees of my heart on fire
She set the levees of my heart on fire
