Texas Flood - Steve Ray Vaughan
Well there’s floodin’ down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
Well there’s floodin’ down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
And I’ve been tryin’ to call my baby
Lord and I can’t get a single sound
Well dark clouds are rollin’ in
Man I’m standin’ out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin’ in
Man I’m standin’ out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin’
Man it’s about to drive poor me insane
Well I’m leavin’ you baby
Lord and I’m goin’ back home to stay
Well I’m leavin’ you baby
Lord and I’m goin’ back home to stay
Well back home are no floods or tornados
Baby and the sun shines every day
So, if I may paraphrase:
It’s flooding in Texas and the telephone lines are down so he can’t reach his girlfriend. It’s driving him nuts so he’s leaving her and moving somewhere where the sun shines more (than Texas).
This is why I can’t write songs. I don’t like repeating myself. :-)
You realize that Elmore James blue classic song right?? LOL!
