  • (sara evans/john bettis/jim rushing)
  • The river ran through howard county
  • It was the life blood of the land
  • It make fields of green tobacco
  • Aching backs and callused hands
  • Mama talked of a coming battle
  • That the women folk had to fight
  • cause the good lord owned the daytime
  • But the devil seemed to own the night
  • Well, it came up out of nowhere
  • From a dark and bitter seed
  • It was the roughest kind of roadhouse
  • And a most unwanted weed
  • It drew the men folk like a magnet
  • The women knew what they had to do
  • So they put it in the hands of jesus
  • cause they knew that hed come through
  • And the rains came and the river swelled
  • And the more they prayed the more it fell
  • When the levies broke everybody saw
  • The awesome power of god
  • Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
  • To bring a brighter day
  • cause when the flood hit howard county
  • All the sins were washed away
  • Now the mothers tell the story
  • Of the week that the river raged
  • Its the passing of the wisdom
  • To the ears of tender age
  • Better walk the straight and narrow
  • Better keep a watchful eye
  • cause theres a symbol of the wrath of heaven
  • In every dark cloud in the sky
  • And the rains came and the river swelled
  • And the more they prayed the more it fell
  • When the levies broke everybody saw
  • The awesome power of god
  • Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
  • To bring a brighter day
  • cause when the flood hit howard county
  • All the sins were washed away
