Me and my friends drove down to the riverside 
E5 
With a half case of beer and a couple bottles of wine 
        D5    A5          E5 
And the rain started to fall 
   D5          A5               D5     A5   E5 
We tipped our bottles and the river overflowed 

Refr?o -------------
A5    D5            A5   D5 
Floodwater, carry me away 
A5       D5        E5 
Take my mind to another place 
A5        D5       A5       D5 
Drown my sorrow, kill my fear 
A5    D5             B5                    E5 
Floodwater, take me far away from here
--------------------
 
 
 
Guitars ringin', hazy smoke filled room 
People swayin', two-step drunken fools 
And it looks like stormy weather 
Emptied my glass, and everything got better 
 
Chorus 
 
Far away from the deep blue Texas skies 
The Red River creature tried to steal away my mind 
But the way, the truth and the light 
Would not forsake the one for 99 
 
Chorus
