Levee

Well I'm the one whose always built it up
With logs and wooden jams
Heavy branches to hold Your waters back
In barricaded strands

But I am like a floodplain
That meanders across Your land
Well I ain't no levee
And I ain't no dam
And I can't hold Your waters back

Man, I'm tired of this same old heart
Rocky dirt and stone
And heavy boulders laying on my mind
And I feel them where I go

Yes I am made of soil
Made of clay, and silt, and sand
Well I ain't no levee
And I ain't no dam
And I can't hold Your waters back

Cause I am made of soil
Made of clay, and silt, and sand
Well I ain't no levee
And I ain't no dam
I can't hold Your waters back
