I watched the water rise in our house
The rain poured in and washed out our stuff
My father drank from beer bottles
Then he'd say
We'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
Walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
All that we had was deep in the mud
Our photographs and family treasures
My mother drank from beer bottles
Then she'd say
We'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
Walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
Don't let it bring you down
And let your head drop down
Don't let the sun go down
And let your light go out
Don't let yourself fall down
Just pick yourself up from the street and get up on your feet
Walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
Walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
Never let this world drag you down
Drag you down
