Rhonda’s Prayer
By Dead End Angels
Capo 5
D
Standing in mud where the porch used to be
D
The river came up past the magnolia tree
C G
They swore we were three feet above the flood plain
D A D
Thank you Lord, but we don’t need anymore rain
The sun won’t be shinin’ anytime soon
The grounds swelling up like a water balloon
We’ve got to find us a dry place to stay
Now let’s hurry before we all wash away
Chorus:
G D G D
God Bless our children, God Bless this town
G D A D
God keep the looters from comin’ around
G D C G
Bless the hungry, the thirsty, and if it’s all the same
D A D
Thank you Lord, but we don’t need anymore rain
Gather the pictures, there isn’t much time
The man from the TV ain’t easin’ my mind
Eleven more inches, is that what he said
Someone grab the Fox print and Jesus hanging over the bed
Chorus
There’s a chair in the treetops and a stove in the field
This time was rough, I don’t think we’ll rebuild
I hate to see this old house meet it’s end
Sometimes it’s best starting over again
