DESCRIPTION:
Producer Dan Baird brought Brian Henneman's (Bottle Rockets) tune to me saying, "This is you." He's right, I love it! Living on a sailboat through hurricanes, nor'easters and floods I'm no stranger to high water closing roads and tunnels and watching folks wait anxiously for that water to 'get down.' When Mother Nature's wreaking havoc there's nothing you can do but wait it out and pick up the pieces. Amy's harmony kills me every time I listen.

As a note, most of the flood footage was taken between the flood in Nashville, TN, hurricane Isabel Norfolk, VA and hurricane Floyd in Franklin, VA. The human spirit is an amazing thing... I mean this video to be a tribute to the brave folks who dig in, help each other and re-build.

Lyrics:
(Brian Henneman)

Live in a river town, it's pretty little
It's high on the sides and it sinks in the middle
If it rains too much the river comes down
And fills up the low spots all over town
        
Get down river, river get down
Won't you get down river, river get down   
Once again you have messed up this old town
So get down river, get down

                          
Now over cross town is where I want to go
To see my honey but I don't know
Guess I'm gonna have to row
Looks like the Gulf of Mexico down by the Texaco

        
Get down river, river get down 
Won't you get down river, river get down   
Once again you have messed up this old town
So get down river, get down


Well you could drown downtown when the river runs wild
Been happening here ever since I's a child
There ain't nothing you can do to stop it
Just hope for the best and mop up the rest
      
Get down river, river get down
Won't you get down river, river get down  
Once again you have messed up this old town

So get down river, get down
Ya get down river, get down
Go on get down river, get down
