  			Me and my friends drove down to the riverside 
E 
With a half case of beer and a couple bottles of wine 
        D    A          E 
And the rain started to fall 
   D          A               D     A   E 
We tipped our bottles and the river overflowed 

A    D            A   D 
Floodwater, carry me away 
A       D        E 
Take my mind to another place 
A        D       A       D 
Drown my sorrow, kill my fear 
A    D             B                    E 
Floodwater, take me far away from here 
 
 
Guitars ringin', hazy smoke filled room 
People swayin', two-step drunken fools 
And it looks like stormy weather 
Emptied my glass, and everything got better 
 
Chorus 
 
Far away from the deep blue Texas skies 
The Red River creature tried to steal away my mind 
But the way, the truth and the light 
Would not forsake the one for 99 
 
Chorus
